A baby boy? after this email nooooooo

I have been trying, through coughs, hacks, and runny nose to get some more posts done. Of course some of you already know, and now the rest of you will too, when us preggie women are sick the med cabinet is off limits. Actually every time I reach for that cabinet door it seems the husband is right there to say, "no, no, no, you know you can't have that Nyquil." ugh if I ever wanted to beat someone up just to get my hands on something it's at those moments.

Well, in the spirit of keeping me upbeat, my good friend Veronica, who is CONVINCED we're  having a boy (sorry Veronica, now that I'm sick we have to reschedule the CVS and hold off for another week or so knowing the sex of the baby ;-)), has sent me a funny email about boys.  If I ever wondered why we wanted a girl and not a boy (okay it's true you end up having the chain the girls to the bed when they enter their teens to keep them out of trouble), this woman from Texas provided 23 good ones! But then again, I don't know if that's worse than the curse my mother placed on me when I was a teenager, "I wish upon you FIVE girls just like you!"

Hope you'll get as much of a laugh out of it as the husband and I did, of course I laughed differently than he did considering he was a boy once too ;-). Enjoy.

a) For those who have grown children - this is totally hysterical!
b) For those who have children past this age, this is hilarious.
c) For those who have children this age, this is not funny.
d) For those who have children nearing this age, this is a warning.
e) For those who have not yet had children, this is birth control.
The following came from an anonymous Mother in Austin, Texas:
Things I've learned from my Boys (honest and not kidding):
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 shows 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.
