WHAT PARENTS LEARN FROM KIDS
WHAT PARENTS LEARN FROM KIDS
- Always look in the oven before you turn it on -- plasic toys do not like ovens.
- There is no such thing as child-proofing your house.
- If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with roller blades, they can ignite.
- A 4 year old's voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.
- If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan the motor is not strong enough to rotate a 42 pound boy wearing Pound Puppy underwear and a Superman cape.
- It is strong enough, however, to spread paint on all four walls of a 20 by 20 foot room.
- Baseballs make marks on ceilings.
- You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on.
- When you use the ceiling fan as a bat you have to throw the ball up a few times before you get a hit.
- A ceiling fan can hit a baseball a long way.
- The glass in windows (even double pane) doesn't stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan.
- When you hear the toilet flush and the words Uh-oh, it's already too late.
- Brake fluid mixed with Chlorox makes smoke, and lots of it.
- A 6 year old can start a fire with a flint rock even though a 36 year old man says they can only do it in the movies.
- A magnifying glass can start a fire even on an overcast day.
- If you use a watebed as home plate while wearing baseball shoes it does not leak - it explodes.
- A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq. foot house 4 inches deep.
- Legos will pass through the digestive tract of a four year old; Duplos will not.
- Plah-Doh and microwave should never be used in the same sentence.
- Super-glue is forever.
- McGyver can teach us many things we don't want to know.
- Ditto Tarzan.
- No matter how much Jello you put in a swimming pool you still can't walk on water.
- Pool filters do not like Jello.
- VCRs do not eject PB&J sandwiches even though TV commercials show they do.
- Garbage bags do not make good parachutes.
- Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise while driving.
- You probably do not want to know what that odor is.
- The fire department in San Diego has at least a 5 minute response time.
- The spin cycle on the washine machine does not make earth worms dizzy. It will however make cats dizzy.
- Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.
- Quiet does not necessarily mean don't worry.
- Nail polish does not make good face paint.
- A good sense of humor will get you through most problems in life (mostly in retrospect).
Her toes on both feet were stuck together. I got her taken care of but that glue was on the floor to stay!
