My beloved cousin, father of 4 daughters, the eldest of which presented him with his first grandchild last wednesday (another Alexander in the family but Alexander Flynn, 7lb 10oz) was darling enough to send this to us today...I had to share it.
For those of you who were fortunate to
have daughters ONLY, be glad....
be very, very glad...
Sadly the photos wont post but after several of boys with frogs in their mouths, boys looking up girls skirts, boys pouring bucketfulls of water off the roof onto their sleeping grandfather... you get the idea..then comes...
And you also find out very 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 cricketballs 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 cricketball a long way.
6.) The glass in windows (even double-pane) doesn't stop a football, cricketball, soccer or 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 WhiteKing makes smoke, and lots of it.
9.) A 6-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 Jelly you put in a swimming pool you still can't walk on water.
14.) Pool filters do not like Jelly.
15.) VCR's do not eject Peanut Butter & Jam sandwiches even though TV commercials show they do.
16.) Garbage bags do not make good parachutes.
17.) Marbles in a cars gas tank make lots of noise when driving.
18.) You probably DO NOT want to know what that odour is.
19.) Always look in the oven before you turn it on; plastic toys do not like ovens.
20.) The fire department in East Melbourne has a 3-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 WhiteKing and brake fluid.
Now they are starting to get mobile...we have now been warned
