There is no such thing as child-proofing your house.

A 4-year-old's voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.

If you hook a dog lead over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong enough to rotate a 3-stone boy wearing a Superman outfit.

It is, however, strong enough to spread paint on all four walls of a 20 by 20 foot room.

You should not throw cricket balls 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 cricket ball a long way.

The glass in windows (even double-glazed) doesn't stop a cricket ball hit by a ceiling fan.

When you hear the toilet flush and the words "Uh-oh" it's already too late.

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.

Lego bricks will pass through the digestive tract of a four year old.

Lego Duplos will not.

Play-Doh and Microwave should never be used in the same sentence.

Super glue is forever.

Tarzan can teach us many things we don't want to know.

VCRs do not eject jam sandwiches even though TV commercials show they do.

Black bin liners do not make good parachutes.

Marbles in petrol tanks make lots of noise when driving.

You probably do not want to know what that smell is.

Always look in the oven before you turn it on.

Plastic toys do not like ovens.

The fire brigade has at least a 20 minute response time.

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.

Quiet does not necessarily mean don't worry.
