    Things you should know if you have a son
    A few things you should know if you have a boy, or a man. ;)

    1.) A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq. ft. house 4 inches 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 glass in windows (even double-pane) doesn't stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan.

    7.) When you hear the toilet flush and the words 'uh oh', it's 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.

    11.) Play dough and microwave should not be used in the same sentence.

    12.) Super glue is forever.

    13.) 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 odor is.

    19.) Always look in the oven before you turn it on; plastic toys do not like ovens.

    20.) The fire department in Austin , TX has a 5-minute response time.

    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.) 80% of Women will pass this on to almost all of their friends, with or without kids.

    25.) 80% of Men who read this will try mixing the Clorox and brake fluid.

    With my two boys I can relate.

    Here are a few more from first hand experience( in the last month).

    It takes 16 days for a US quarter to pass through a seven year old "magician", top to bottom.
    Turtles don't like M&Ms.
    Kittens don't like rectal exams done with a Q-tip.
    As I sit here with blue polka dotted Fruit of the Looms, kids don't check their pockets for ink pens.
    Tractors don't run on water.

    And mothers are special, and I can't wait for one in particular to get in from Europe.

    That was some pretty crazy stuff. Some of the things I threw in the fan when I was little... I still do it at my house when I am bored and nobody is around. Something little like a sock. I really was considering trying the clorox and brake fluid thing. Has anyone heard of the works bomb?

    From experience...

    1) Ceiling fans make great launchers for paper airplanes
    2) The dog's water bowl is a great place to rinse your feet in the summer after the grass is cut.
    3) Vomiting out of your window onto your sister's car so your parents don't know you are wasted WILL ruin the paint job.
    4) Giving a cat toothpaste will make them foam at the mouth.

    5) Venus fly traps do not like broccoli any more then you do.
    6) Putting sand in the fish tank, so that Goldie will feel like he's in the ocean, doesn't work.
    7) Towels cannot be flushed down a regular household toilet.
    8) Jumping on the bed while the ceiling fan is on is a bad idea.
    9) A dog wearing a cape cannot fly, neither can a rabbit. ;)
    10) Hiding in the dryer and jumping out at your mother when she comes in to do laundry will get you a black eye.
    11) Peeing on the outdoor plants during the summer is not acceptable.

    I always thought that they got more nutrients from the nitrogen in the pee? :p

    It's not so much the plants you have to worry about, it's the neighbors that complain that your son is pulling down his pants in public so he can urinate, even though the bathroom is only a few short steps away.

    It was our own fault. We went on vacation to Penticton. Jared was 4. It's around a 12 -14 hour drive. Jared hadn't been potty trained for long so we made sure to stop often so he could use the bathroom. The thing is, he's like me. Once he gets into a car he drives himself batty wondering if there will be a bathroom around when you need it. As a result he had to pee every 1/2 hour and there wasn't always a bathroom around. So we taught him to pee in the bushes on the side of the road.

    It worked pretty well, until we got home. :(

    Nah, I won't be showing her that thread. Once she saw JBeaucaire's little animated plane in her sig, and she asked me 'What game are you playing, huh? How many times do I have to tell you not to play?'

    The bunk needs to be against the wall and Jared should sleep against it. That way the dog can have the rest of the bunk. At least that's how my dog explained it to me as he stretched out.

    Jared isn't the problem actually. It's Sydney.

    Both kids have a bunk bed, but not one with two beds, it's only an upper bunk, that way we can put things underneath and maximize the space. The bedrooms are really small. :(

    Anyway, Sydney decided that Chewy should play with her on the bunkbed, so she got Jared to lift him up to the top. He loves it. He goes crazy when you put him on the bunkbed. The thing is, he got bored and jumped. :(

    A vet trip and a clear bill of health with a strict warning to never do it again. There's $300 I'll never see again. ;)

    Exactly.

    This would never have happened if I had been on Mom duty that day. Sadly I was at work and hubby didn't notice what was going on until Chewy jumped.

    It's not a really high bunk, but still high enough that Chewy really could have gotten hurt.

    Thankfully he's okay. Sydney learned her lesson, as did Jared, so I know it won't be happening again.

    Maybe I should build a slide for the bed, then Chewy can go where he loves to go and slide down when he's done.

    Good idea? Terrible idea? I'll have to think about it.

    The thing that may hamper this idea is the lack of space. Sydney's room is tiny. Extremely tiny. The whole reason we bought the bunk was to give her more space. A slide would take away from that space.

    I'll have to think about the best way to do it. It would be cool though. :)

    I wonder if her bunkbed can hold me? If I'm putting in a slide then I have to be able to use it.

    Wheeeee! :)

    I had bunkbeds when I was younger, I slept on top, the great Dane slept on the bottom, until one night she had her pups early on the bottom bunk :eek:
    I kept hearing squeeking for days afterwards panicking there would be one stuck somewhere in the bed!

    Dogs sleep under the bedcovers as soon as you get out of bed. They prefer beds that are prewarmed up for them.

    Dogs will happily puke in your bed under the covers. Usually on clean covers as well.

    Pouty dogs will poop in the house right where they know you will happily tromp in during the night in your bare feet. They secretly get their kicks knowing you'll hit their land mines.

    One dog and one boy with a shovel can happily dig a hole in the backyard deep enough to get lost in during an 8 hour day. Then happily fill it up with water and make a muddy mess.

    Cast off microwave oven, kid with electrical cord and dog cowering in far corner of yard not wanting to get too close to the kid microwaving GI Joes, screwdrivers, full cans of beer, steak knives, vice grips, and everything else not nailed down including himself.

    All true. Happened to me.

    My son grew up to be a happy, healthy, and believe it or not, well adjusted man. Personally I am surprised that I survived his childhood.
