                          | Lessons Learned By a Parent  : Thursday Thirteen #8 |  
                          | 13. A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2,000 sq. foot house four inches deep. 
 12. If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with rollerblades, they can ignite.
 
 11. A 3-year-old's voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.
 
 10. 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 20x20 foot room.
 
 9. You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on. When using the 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.
 
 8. 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.
 
 6. Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke, and lots of it.
 
 5. A six-year-old can start a fire with a flint rock, even though a 36-year-old man says they only do it in the movies. A magnifying glass can start a fire even on an overcast day.
 
 4. Certain Lego's will pass right through the digestive tract of a four-year-old.
 
 3. "Play-Doh" and "microwave" should never be used in the same sentence.
 
 2. Super glue is forever.
 
 1. No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool you still can't walk on water.

                                            Priceless list! I will share those with my 12-year-old and remind him he's too old to do any of those things!!

                                            Re #1: Jello takes a ton of work to succeed, but you can do it with cornstarch.  Still labour intensive, but not quite as insane as Jello.  And the clean up is easier.

                                            Too funny. We actually had the waterbed nightmare when my 2 boys were little. Not fun at the time, but funny now.
 Happy T13!

                                            Ha!  Number 2 is fact I wasn't aware of.  Thanks for sharing the chuckles.

                                            I hope my son never hears about #12. He would totally try to duplicate the experiment at home.

                                            #9 is my favorite!  Ceiling fans are wonderful when it comes to hitting things.
