Things I've Learned from My Children
1. Garbage bags do not make good parachutes.
2. A 3-year-old is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.
3. If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with roller blades, they can ignite.
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, to spread paint on all four walls of a large room.
5. When using the ceiling fan as a baseball 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 can start a fire with a flint rock even though a 36-year-old man says they can only do it in the movies. A magnifying glass can start a fire even on an overcast day.
10. Certain Legos will pass through the digestive tract of a six-year-old.
11. "Play-Doh" and "microwave" should never 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. VCRs do not eject PB&J sandwiches even though TV commercials show they do.
16. A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq. foot house 4 inches deep.
17. Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise in a moving car.
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 spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy. It will, however, make cats dizzy.
21. Cats spit up twice their body weight when dizzy.

Really appreciate the "Like" Bill. There used to be a "Delete" option for when you got to a bad place when posting. No longer. I was kind of counting on that. I was going to put a "sad" emoticon here but, at the moment, that's not working either. I started to say a sad "smiley-face" cause that's what the button looks like till I realized the oxymoronic ridicule I'd be opening myself up to and felt I didn't need that.

Sort of my kids, I used to be a teacher. You know those book matches, "safety" matches, the ones you need the special super-fine grit sandpaper strip to strike? As an aside, remember when the strip used to be on the same side of the "book" as the place where you opened them, but then they moved it to the other side because, apparently some doofus was somehow setting the whole pack on fire? OK, back to my point. Turns out you don't need that striking strip. You can light them on paper money (the US kind anyway, not sure about the foreign stuff). You have to press real hard and move your hand real fast, but they do light. Good bar bet. Let the other guy go first, he won't be able to do it. Works on glass too. Yep, I can strike a match on a pane of glass.
