Raising Boys
Boys never cease to amaze me. I’m sure you’ve gotten that forwarded email, at least once, that is supposedly from an anonymous mother in Austin, Texas. It’s a list of things she has learned from raising her boys. I’ll list my favorites from her list…
When you hear the toilet flush and the words “uh oh”, it’s already too late.
You probably DO NOT want to know what that odor is.
The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy.
It will, however, make cats dizzy.
Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.
Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke, and lots of it.
80% of Men who read this will try mixing the Clorox and brake fluid.
I thought of this list this morning as I was cleaning our toilet and wondering why Andrew insists on spraying everything down in the bathroom while going potty. There was pee inside the garbage can for crying outloud! While I was cleaning the garbage can out, Zion came in. He started rubbing the toilet seat with his hand, and I told him that he shouldn’t touch potties.
“But why, Mom?”
“Because potties are dirty.”
[Zion starts rubbing the whole toilet with BOTH hands] and in a whiney drawn out voice,”buuuuuuut whyyyyy mom?!”
“Nevermind. Wash your hands.”
