Experiments to not try.

As parents, most of us can find small experiments we could try out at home, yielding less than fascinating results.
Here are a few I have thought of and I am sure you can come up with plenty more...
  • How long can a toilet be clogged without a kid telling you, AND/OR how many times will kids use that toilet without telling you it is clogged?
  • How many blobs of toothpaste can build up in a sink before kids think it is gross and decide to wipe them out?
  • How many packages of fruit snacks can a kid eat in one sitting?
  • How long would kids go without washing their hands?
  • How long will a toilet paper roll sit empty without a kid changing it? (this one makes me sick!)
  • How many times do kids ask the number of days until their birthday?
  • How long would Christmas lists get before the kid would be satisfied?
  • Would they ever choose to eat vegetables just because it's healthy?
  • How many hours of TV/Nintendo/Computer could be played or watched in one sitting?
  • Is life ever fair for a 10 year old?
  • How many times can a kid say Mom in a one minute period without hesitating, taking a breath, or wondering why his/her Mom isn't responding?
Oh the fun of parenting... :)
