The following came from an anonymous Mother in Austin, Texas... <br /><br />Things I've learned from my Boys (honest and not kidding): <br /><br />1.) A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq. ft. house 4 inches deep. <br /><br />2.) If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with roller blades, they can ignite. <br /><br />3.) A 3-year old Boy's voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />6.) The glass in windows (even double-pane) doesn't stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan. <br /><br />7.) When you hear the toilet flush and the words "uh oh", it's already too late. <br /><br />8.) Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke and lots of it. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />10.) Certain Lego's WILL pass through the digestive tract of a 4-year old Boy. <br /><br />11.) Play dough and microwave should not be used in the same sentence. <br /><br />12.) Super glue IS forever. <br /><br />13.) No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool you still can't walk on water. <br /><br />14.) Pool filters do not like Jell-O. <br /><br />15.) VCR'! s do not eject "PB & J" sandwiches even though TV commerci als show they do. <br /><br />16.) Garbage bags do not make good parachutes. <br /><br />17.) Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving. <br /><br />18.) You probably DO NOT want to know what that odor is. <br /><br />19.) Always look in the oven before you turn it on; plastic toys do not like ovens. <br /><br />20.) The fire department in Austin, TX has a 5-minute response time. <br /><br />21.) The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy. <br /><br />22.) It will, however, make cats dizzy. <br /><br />23.) Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy. <br /><br />24.) 80% of Men who read this will try mixing the Clorox and brake fluid.

Not to hijack but 35 gallon black trash bags do make good sails. Several years ago I took a 3 day canoe trip down a protected stretch of the Missouri River, in Montana. The water was very low and the current was very slow. This was causing a considerable amount of effort on the paddles to move the canoe down stream. <br /><br />My 16 y/o daughter was in the front of my canoe. I had her hold up a 35 gallon trash bag, between two paddles and hold them vertical. For the balance of the afternoon we moved downstream, with great alacrity, with me using my paddle as a rudder.<br /><br />Do not discount those trash bags.
