Things we have learned from Children:
1.) A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2,000 sq. ft. house 4inches deep.
2.) If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with roller
blades, they can ignite.
3.) A 3-year old boy's voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.
4.) If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong
enough to rotate a 42-pound boy wearing Batman underwear and a Superman
cape. It is strong enough, however, if tied to a paint can, to spread paint
on all four walls of a 20x20 ft. room.
5.) You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on. When using
a 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.
6.) The window panes (even double-panes) do not stop a baseball hit by a
ceiling fan.
7.) When you hear the toilet flush and the words "uh oh", it is already too late.
8.) Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke, and lots of it.
9.) A six-year old boy can start a fire with a flint rock even though a
36-year old man says they can only do it in the movies.
10.) Certain Lego's will pass through the digestive tract of a 4-year old boy.
12.) No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool you still can't
walk on water.
14.) Pool filters do not like Jell-O.
15). VCR's do not eject "PB & J" sandwiches even though TV commercials show
they do.
16.) Garbage bags do not make good parachutes.
17.) Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving.
18.) You probably do NOT want to know what that odour is.
19.) Always look in the oven before you turn it on. Plastic toys do not like
ovens (and vice versa).
21.) The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy.
22.) It will, however, make cats dizzy.
23.) Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.
24.) Most of the men who read this will try mixing the Clorox and brake fluid

Years ago (true story), I learned from my son that boobs are like snowflakes. No two pair are alike. (Ah, wisdom so beyond his age.)

Hilarious!!

From my nephews, I have learned that if you pour enough Tide into the upstairs toilet and flush.....bubbles will happen in the downstairs toilet too!

What is it with boys curiosity with toilets and flushing things down the drain? When my nephew was a year old I heard this tiny, panicked voice calling for help. I look into the bathroom and see legs, arms and a head sticking out of the toilet...
"Annie, elp me pease!"

I had a little cousin who loved to eat butter. Weird. His mother asked the doctor about it and he said at that age, it was okay, kids needed the fat in their diet anyway so it wasn't as harmful as the adult was picturing it.

2 yrs olds can throw trains very fast, and surprisingly deadly accurately

Count your blessings. We specifically called to drop international service on our cells before going on a cruise so that while on the cruise we would only have service in our normal roaming areas. Our oldest was going with us, and we knew she would try to call the moron she was dating at the time and we knew better than to trust her not to call.

Unfortunately, the brilliant people at the cell provider decided to ADD international service to ALL their accounts a day or two later as a "service" to their customers!!!!!!!!!!! So we got back to discover almost $900.00 in charges on our cell bill.

After SEVERAL phone calls and tearing the heads off numerous people at the cell provider, we got the bill reduced to a couple hundred, but it was not easy.

So I'm not sure this one qualifies as learned from the child for from a cell provider.

If you take a glass of milk with only an inch or so left in the bottom of it and use it to play in a 30 gallon aquarium, it will turn ALL the water almost completely opaque in just the few seconds it takes you to realize it's quiet and the boy is missing again.

Fortunately, it will not kill the large expensive goldfish in there. But it WILL take about three days for the water to completely clear.

Yummy... My daughter found another great use for butter...Smear it all over the kitchen floor, then slide. It's almost like ice skating!!! (and so much fun to clean up too!!)
