Sh*t My Kids Say #4 – Kids Don’t Listen
Kids are funny people. They really have no concept of right or wrong, they don’t know not to call people fat or stupid and they have no idea how hilarious their imaginary stories are to adults.
That has led me to create a section here at Canadian Dad called “Sh*t My Kids Say”. I know, I know, it’s a semi dirty word but this is my blog and I’ll swear if I want to, LOL.

I took my son to a place called Funhaven today but before we left, I witnessed first hand just how easy it is for kids to not pay attention to anything you are saying. Here’s our conversation from earlier today.
D: “C’mon buddy, let’s get going”
L: “Where are we going Daddy?”
D: “To a new place called Funhaven!”
L: “Do they have toys?”
D: “I don’t think so”
L: “Can I play MarioKart later?”
D: “Ummm, I guess so but that has nothing to do with Funhaven”
L: “Oh okay, are we going to Daniel’s house?”
D: “Why would we go to Daniel’s house?”
L: **Blank Expression**
D: “We’re going to Funhaven, it’s like a giant indoor park”
L: “Dora? What about Boots?”
D: “Huh? I said inDOOR, not Dora!”
L: “Do they have toys? Can I bring my new coloring book?”
D: “Just get in the car!”

I’m guessing had I continued to humour him, that this conversation could have gone on for the whole day! It’s funny because it’s not like he was watching TV or anything, he just straight up wasn’t paying attention to anything I was saying. Frustrating times for sure, LOL!
In case you’re interested, here’s my Review of our FunHaven experience from today.
Cheers!!
