Things Adults Learn From Kids

There is no such thing as child-proofing your house they will find a way to get in

A 4 years-old’s voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.

If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan the motor is not strong enough to rotate a 42 pound boy wearing Snoopy underwear and a Superman cape.

It is strong enough however to spread paint on all four walls of a 20 by 20 foot room.

You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on.

The glass in windows (even double pane) doesn’t stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan.

When you hear the toilet flush and the words “Uh-oh;” it’s already too late.

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.

If you use a waterbed as home plate while wearing baseball shoes it does not leak it explodes.

A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq foot house 4 inches deep.

Play Dough and Microwave should never be used in the same sentence.

Super glue is forever.

McGyver can teach us many things we don’t want to know.

Ditto Tarzan.

No matter how much Jello you put in a swimming pool you still can’t walk on water.

Pool filters do not like Jello.

VCR’s do not eject sandwiches even though TV commercials show they do.

Garbage bags do not make good parachutes.

You probably do not want to know what that odor is.

Always look in the oven before you turn it on.

Plastic toys do not like ovens.

The fire department in San Diego has at least a 5 minute response time.

The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earth worms dizzy.

It will however make cats dizzy.

Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.

Quiet does not necessarily mean don’t worry.

A good sense of humor will get you through most problems in life (unfortunately, mostly in retrospect).
 

Joke Of The Day

A Sunday school teacher asked the children in her class, “If I sold my house and my car, had a big garage sale and gave all my money to the church, would I get into Heaven?”

“No!” the children all answered.

“If I cleaned the church every day, mowed the yard, and kept everything neat and tidy, would I get into Heaven?”

Again the answer was “No!”

“Well”, she continued, “then how can I get into Heaven?”

A five-year-old boy shouted out, “You gotta be dead!”

The ‘Piggy Bank’ Brothers

Conner Alexander’s piggy bank bounty was a bust from the beginning.

The 7-year-old Texas Rangers fan posted the now-famous offer on a homemade sign from his seat in right field during Monday’s game against the Detroit Tigers.

“Hey Rangers!” it read. “Hit my brother. Win my piggy bank.”

But the offer, of course, wasn’t as lucrative as it sounds.

“He has a piggy bank, but there’s not a whole lot in it,” says Ashlee Alexander, Conner’s mom, from the family’s home in Carthage, Texas.

“Un-uh,” Conner admits when asked if he would have parted with his pennies.

Still, the sign was seen by millions on Yahoo and caused a ruckus among some readers. But all you backseat psychologists can breathe easier. Conner says he never really meant any harm for 10-year-old Hunter.

Instead, the boys hoped their ruse would get them on the ballpark’s video board and catch the eye of their favorite players, Josh Hamilton(notes) and Nelson Cruz(notes).

“We were going to put a target on my brother, but we didn’t have tape to do it,” Conner says.

Their popularity on Big League Stew and Yahoo! has prompted over 24,000 Facebook shares and dozens of calls from friends in their small town located about two hours east of Dallas. Morning television programs have also called seeking interviews.

“I guess overwhelmed would be the best way to describe it,” says their father, Billy Alexander. “It was just clean, innocent fun. They did what they set out to do, but they just got on [an even bigger] JumboTron.”

Billy, a retired firefighter who now runs his own business, and Ashlee, a special education teacher, say their boys are the best of friends. Billy balks at anyone who saw the playful prank as poor parenting.

“They just need to come to Texas and have some fun,” he says.
