La leçon de géographie

Things I've learned from my children:

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 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.
Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when  driving.
Garbage bags do not make good parachutes.
No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming  pool you still can't walk on  water.
Pool filters do not like Jell-O.
Super glue is forever.
Play Dough and Microwave should never be used in  the same sentence.
Certain LEGOs will pass through the digestive  Tract of a four year old.
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.
Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke, and  lots of it.
When you hear the toilet flush and the words  "Uh-oh," it's already too late.
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.
The glass in windows (even double pane) doesn't  Stop a baseball hit by a ceiling  fan.
A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill  a 2000 sq. foot house 4 inches  deep.
If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run  over them with roller blades,  they can ignite.
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 20 by 20 foot room.
