Sunshine!
I'm taking full advantage of the fact that although it is supposed to rain all week, it did not last night and it is not this morning. Surely, it'll be muddy but I'm gonna go play in my garden!
But first, I wanted to share a funny that I got via email this morning, you know, one of those friends who sends the "you're my friend and you can prove it by sending this to all your friends and back to me" stuff which I simply delete. *sigh* Absolute sweetheart of a lady but eventually I'll have to gently tell her to please not send those; my friendship doesn't require that sort of proof. Hey, at least she doesn't send the ones with the threats of bad luck at the end!
But this one made me laugh right out loud several times. It reminded my of my ex's nephew, Talley, who once put toast with peanut butter inside the VCR and who also, after showing the hammer to his Mommy and inquisitively saying, "AHbubrumowuba?" to her and getting an absent, "Yes dear" took a hammer to the glass-top coffee table. He'd be about 15 now, I guess.
Anyway....
you also find out interesting things when you have sons, like...
1.) A king size waterbed holds enough water to fil! l 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 lready 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 Legos 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 Peanut Butter & Jelly 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.
