Me: “Dad, I’m bored.”
Dad: “Go play in traffic.”
LOL! A classic ‘Dad’ response!
My kids learned early not to tell me they were ‘bored.’ We kept a ‘Job Jar’ handy with strips of paper with a chore written on it and the amount we’d pay for that chore to be done - to MY standards.
Funny - when they got to be teens and wanted to ‘buy stuff’ that ‘Job Jar’ became incredibly popular ;)
