A king-size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 3 bedroom house 4 ins deep.<br \/>\n2. A 3 yr olds voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.<br \/>\n3. If you hook a dog lead over a ceiling fan the motor is not strong enough to rotate a 42 lb boy wearing Batman underwear &#038; a Superman cape. It is strong enough however if tied to a paint can, to spread paint on all 4 walls of a large room.<br \/>\n4. When you hear the toilet flush &#038; the words &#8220;uh oh&#8221;, it&#8217;s already too late.<br \/>\n5. Brake fluid mixed with bleach makes smoke, lots of it.<br \/>\n6. A 6yr old can start a fire with a flint rock even though a 36yr old man says they can only do it in the movies.<br \/>\n7. Certain parts of Lego will pass through the digestive tract of a 4yr old.<br \/>\n8. Playdough &#038; microwave should not be used in the same sentence.<br \/>\n9. Super Glue is forever.<br \/>\n10. No matter how much jelly you put in the swimming pool you still can&#8217;t walk on water.<br \/>\n11. Pool filters do not like jelly.<br \/>\n12. VCR&#8217;s do not eject toasted sandwiches.<br \/>\n13. Garbage bags do not make good parachutes.<br \/>\n14. Marbles in petrol tanks make lots of noise when driving &#038; are very expensive to remove.<br \/>\n15. You probably do not really want to know what that smell is.<br \/>\n16. Always look in the oven before you turn it on, plastic toys do not like ovens.<br \/>\n17. The average response time for the fire brigade is 20mins.<br \/>\n18. The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy.<br \/>\n19. It will however make the cat dizzy.<br \/>\n20. Cats throw up half their body weight when dizzy.<br \/>\n21. The mind of a 6yr old is a wonderful &#038; amazing thing.<br \/>\n60% of men who read this will try mixing brake fluid &#038; bleach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For those with no children this is hysterical.
