    I wish I could post the pics here!!! FUNNY! It ends with this:

    And you also find out 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 baseballs 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 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 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 Lego's 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 Jell-O you put in a swimming pool you still can't walk on water.
    14.Pool filters do not like Jell-O.
    15.VCR's do not eject 'PB & J' sandwiches even though TV commercials show they do.
    16.Garbage bags do not make good parachutes.
    17.Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving.
    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 fire department in Austin , TX has a 5-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 Clorox and brake fluid.

    I also lost a very expensive television to a toddler. It was a sippy cup through the screen "accident."

    My son used my laptop as a trampoline once. Cracked the screen.

    Thankfully, my husband is just tech-y enough that he ordered a new screen and replaced it. This poor laptop is still going strong, but I am considering an upgrade....

    wow I feel lucky! the worst things my boys have done is scratch a dresser, break a drawer on their own dresser, and bust about 1500 bucks worth of makeup all over the bathroom floor. Guess I'm not doing too bad at keeping an eye on them! I don't let them anywhere near any of the electronics.

    My dog has destroyed much. My son accidentally broke a vase recently... and that's it. But I have the best child ever, it should be noted.

    Can my dog count as my toddler? He broke the keyboard of my laptop and ate a USB-drive filled with scientific data. The drive it's self wasn't expensive... but the data.... yah... I was sad. Some neuron pictures that I couldn't replace (stupid me for not backing them up).

    1. He tackled my 10 yo daughter so hard he knocked one of her teeth out.

    2. He pulled a bar stool apart and broke the legs.

    3. There's scratches/gouges all over our 42" TV

    4. Our couch is an entire different color from juice/milk spills. So's our carpet. So are part of the walls.

    5. My sanity.

    6. What was left of my marriage.

    My kids haven't done anything destructive that I can think of....

    When I was a toddler I managed to get the BB's out of a bottle of nail polish....all over the bathroom floor. And it was pink.
