Ummmm
If you were a very large snail (as evidenced by the shell shards) and you were sent through the washer AND dryer, where would your guts and muscle have gone? And how the HELL do I get the dead snail smell out of my washer? {wanders off muttering something about boys and pockets and damnit and such}

LOL...and I was just asking this question the other day, except it was with motor oil mixed with the laundry, because my hubster tossed in his yucky clothes with the regular load...BLECH...motor oil smell on my undies!
and then I got this email today (wasn't sure if you'd seen it or not, so, what the heck)...ENJOY & stay on your toes! LOL!
RAISING BOYS
a) For those with no children - this is totally hysterical!
b) For those who already have children past this age, this is hilarious.
c) For those who have children this age, this is not funny.
d ) For those who have children nearing this age, this is a warning.
e) For those who have not yet had children, this is birth control.
The following came from an anonymous Mother in Austin,
Texas...
Things I've learned from my Boys (honest and not kidding):
1) A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq. ft. house 4 inches deep.
2) If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with roller blades, they can ignite.
3) A 3-year old Boy's voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.
4) 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 20x20 ft. room.
5) You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on. When using a 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.
6) The glass in windows (even double-pane) doesn't stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan.
7) When you hear the toilet flush and the words "uh oh", it's already too late.
8) Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke, and lots of it.
9) A six-year old Boy can start a fire with a flint rock even though a 36-year old Man says they can only do it in the movies.
10) Certain Lego's will pass through the digestive tract of a 4-year old Boy.
11) Play dough and microwave should not be used in the same sentence.
12) Super glue is forever.
13) No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool you still can't walk on water.
14) Pool filters do not like Jell-O.
15) VCR's do not eject "PB & J" sandwiches even though TV commercials show they do.
16) Garbage bags do not make good parachutes.
17) Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving.
18) You probably DO NOT want to know what that odor is.
19) Always look in the oven before you turn it on; plastic toys do not like ovens.
20) The fire department in Austin, TX has a 5-minute response time.
21) The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy.
22) It will, however, make cats dizzy.
23) Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.
24) 80% of Men who read this will try mixing the Clorox and brake fluid.
25) Women will pass this on to almost all of their friends, with or without kids.
For those of us who read the story "Ransom of Red Chief" as youngsters and laughed we probably have had one of our young boys try one or two of these

Someone up there must have looked over me and protected me from all of the above although I did experience bugs in pockets, shotgun shot off in bedroom..leaving hole in ceiling..hard berry stuffed up a three year old's nose, a metal swing that clobbered same three year old in mouth, leaving her without two or was it three? front teeth for a long,long time! Bugs, snakes, frogs and baby owls, all have been present in some form in the house at one time or another, fish hook in leg of a 9 year old boy while in a row boat fishing that had to be removed at the hospital and sutured, taken there by a mother who had a day previously come home from the same hospital having been delivered a beautiful baby boy by the very same doctor!!and much much more!
Hang in there Debbie the best is yet to come! Love and Happy Thanksgiving.. Congrats to Eli on the good grade award! Gramma Belva

Deb ick ick icky. Beware of the white Vendicari snails that re-animate when you least expect them to! Congrats to Eli! Signore Smartypants :) That list is hilarious, it amazes me how boys even make it to adulthood sometimes.
