YES! Are you in my head? So much harder to concentrate these days.
I see me! Metaphorically 👍
I so get this. I always pause for puppies. Thanks for the giggle.
Ain’t it the truth- look! – bright shiny object!
However, ADHD individuals are high on creativity!
Is OCD the opposite of ADHD?
I need to know PDQ so I can Rx
Wouldn’t that be DHDA?
Hilarious! this is nearly everyone I know now..
That made me laugh out loud!
Love it! I look forward to your weekly cartoon!
Love it! I look forward to your weekly cartoon! Such talent!
Yup! That’s about the attention span we have been exhibiting nowadays! SAD 😞,HUH?
Lol!
So that’s why it has taken me two years to unpack all the moving boxes in our (not so) new apartment!
So true. That happens to me all the time. Lol
Gary. You hit this one perfectly
The teachers in my family got a good laugh over this one.
I meant to comment earlier, but…
Hysterical.
Actually it’s not hysterical. You can’t have a conversation with anybody anymore. At least not the good, meaty kind. You can’t even go to a clothing store or a restaurant without music blasting. Everyone’s distracted or checking their email while they talk to you. Click click click.
HAHAHA! I was away visiting my niece and her kids in the counrtry this weekend and shared this with her kids (esp. the ADHD kid) and it was a BIG BIG BIG HIT.
Lol! Gary had me cracking up again. Too perfect.
Hysterical!!! And so true.
Very funny! I love this one.
