28. I can soooooo relate
Honest to god, my sisters boys are great - we have them up for a weekend every winter with just us and they clean their own room, behave like perfect little gentlemen every where we go but we are still so exhausted when they leave! They never stop!

4. LOL
that is hilarious :rofl:

Add to that: boys will dare each other to do just about anything. Case in point: my son was walking down the hall at school with his friend, when his friend says, "I bet I can make my face redder than yours." Both of them walked down the hall holding their breath, only my son held his until he passed out and chipped two of his front teeth on the floor.

I get the call from the nurse, and the whole story was so comical that it took all of my strength not to bust out laughing over the phone.

18. Holy Cow! I am amazed your son can do that...I would have been
laughing too.

My girlfriend's little boy (a long time ago) tied one of those plastic parachutes that you get with the army guys attached and sent their gerbil out the 2nd floor window. She was on the phone when she saw the family pet go hurtling past the kitchen window. :hi:

22. He only did it once
Painful lesson. He was in third grade at the time and his teachers were shocked (because he was a quiet kid) that he did this.

Even he was laughing about it pretty much right away.

29. LOL! I've got to pass this one on!
:rofl:

When my older boy was a toddler, we took him to a 4th of July celebration where I played a concert, and then we had a picnic and watched fireworks. He couldn't stand seeing me onstage, not giving him attention, so he screamed his little head off. There were 15,000 people in the crowd, and I could hear him shrieking over top of every one, even though he was a good 150 feet away.
