I learn real fast never to tell mom I was bored. she always said “I’m sure I can think of something for you to do” with a mischievous look on her face. the one time I said “like what” I spent the day pulling weeds
I guess every parent does this. My mom sure did. Sometimes I didn’t have to say I was bored, just look like I was and she would tell me to dust the furniture.
“bored” always got my creative side juicing up when I was young … unfortunately, it was my creative side that also got me into a lot of trouble when I was young too. LOL!

Whenever I hear “We’re bored. There’s nothing to do”, I pull out the vacuum and the Windex. They find something to do really fast after that.

best way for an adult to motivate children: “I’ll put you to work.” LOL They disappear quickly then.

John, why are you using such ‘four letter’ words in front of the children?

Since this is a Canadian comic, and Canada’s bilingual, why not count to twenty in French, Michael?
Un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq…

Nothing gets the kids moving quicker then the thought of busting their rears.

Whether my kids are fighting, bored, or being just plain obnoxious, somehow that always reminds me of some work they could be doing instead…

How come parents were always smart enough to find something for us to do?

Dad used to do that to me. Ruined some perfectly good moping sessions.
