Why Boys Need Parents

Happy Mother's Day!
I wanted to share this, as one of my favorite emails. I know it's been around the block a few times, but I still find it hilarious, and appropriate for Mother's Day.
Enjoy, L
**********************

This is for those mothers of boys, sisters of boys, and boys that have grown older. And anyone else who needs a laugh. Why boys need parents...





And you also find out interesting things when you have sons, like...

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.

Tag, I'm IT!

OK, here are the rules: Once tagged, you must link to the person who tagged you. Then post the rules before your list, and list 8 random things about yourself. At the end of the post, you must tag and link to 8 other people, visit their sites, and leave a comment letting them know they've been tagged.

Here I go!
Ummeyusef tagged me!

8 random things about me:

1. I hate bullies! Whether male or female, people who take advantage or otherwise pick on someone else, for benefit or for their own amusement, suck.

2. I'd rather drive than be driven. I am too much of a "back-seat driver" to just sit and let someone else take over. Besides, I get car sick very easy!!!!

3. I am not very coordinated...I'm the one in your aerobics class doing all the moves the opposite way than everyone else!

4. I pay close attention to detail, and can pick typos out of most printed publications. I try to overlook them, but they POP OUT at me!

5. I go to the mall about 2 times a year -- at the holidays for gift-giving, and to buy my boys school clothes. Other than that, you won't see me there. I simply shop AROUND it at all costs, and would buy everything online if I could.

6. I love really sour foods...steamed pork dumplings with rice vinegar, cole slaw, (OK, pretty much anything with vinegar on/in it), lemons, grapefruit, cranberry, etc. Maybe I am naturally very alkaline? I don't know?!

7. I have to plan everything. A Plan A and Plan B, really. I can't just "wing it"!

8. I'm an outdoor person, and a tomboy at heart, but if it all possible, please don't mess up my hair!
