'I'm a Busy Man': 4-Year-Old Goes Over His Lengthy To-Do List

A four-year-old in Northern Ireland had quite a to-do list on October 24. Caroline O’Neill recorded this video of her imaginative son Darragh going over everything he had planned for the day - only one day after he got his driver’s license, he said.
O’Neill told Storyful her son is a “very busy man,” as the lad notes in the video.
“He loves to work hard and farm the land with his brother and daddy and grandas,” she said. “He is a hardworking wee boy.”
In the video Darragh can be heard going through the impressive pretend list, which includes picking up the keys to the car he just bought, putting in tiles in the house he’s building, cleaning windows, putting up barbed wire, cutting sheep, and much more.

My son used to do something similar to this when he was about 4 years old. He would suddenly appear in a huge cowboy hat and start telling me about his horses and living on a ranch. He told me his name was Johnny West and that he had a wife and two children. I'd offer him a cup of coffee which was one third coffee and topped up with milk and we'd chat. After he drank his fill he would say that he had to leave. Suddenly, my son would appear and I'd say, "You've just missed him again. Johnny West was here drinking coffee." That went on for about a year. It was a lot of fun for me. I'd ask him questions about his ranch. Their thoughts are so interesting at that age. He'd only show up now and then.

[@bipinmistry3590]

Listening to this little boy and the story about your son makes me think about reincarnation. I am convinced that many children below the age of 5 can somewhat recall their pass lives, sometimes with names of people and places we could be checked out. Obviously the child is innocent and not fabricating stories , he is literally taking about his experiences, and of course as cynical adults we think is cute, which indeed it is, but perhaps we should not just dismiss it off as silliness. Just my thoughts. He is a lovely lad, but if I were his parent, I would check a few things out including Roman Macasky actually exists or existed in that location. 👍👌

£20 for a digger, we're watching a master negotiator here

That's probably what his lego digger cost.

[@AmadeuShinChan]

Legend says he finally got it for £15.

[@headgardener578]

Anybody Irish want to confirm? I reckon he's saying 'Forty' not 'Twenty'. £40 (and that's his best offer)

[@cormac8332]

20 pound will do him he said

I think this sweet boy has several hard working men in his life providing role models that couldn't be any better and a lovely mom who is fully appreciating all of it. Smart whip smart and just a firecracker.

[@FM-dk1vp]

I believe this little boy is a very intelligent and perceptive child who pays attention to everyone and everything that is going on around him, and men discussing all of the things that men work hard at, are the things that this little boy is impressed with. I am impressed that he also is surrounded by male role models that find time, and for no money, to help others in need. This is a child sharing with his mother the man he wants to grow up and become. ❤

[@ymac7245]

He sounds so convincing i actually believe him. He will do all those things, take a shower, eat his steak & chips and then go to bed at half 8, cuz that's the time he goes to bed, isn't it. Lovely little lad ❤

It is apparent he spends a great deal of time with hard working adults who talk to him regarding what they’re doing and why. He had a whole plan for his day. Lovely child. Lovely family. Not a word of television or electronics in the mix. Sounds like a perfectly exhausting and wonderful day.

I can't believe it. This adorable little man is EXACTLY my now grown son at that age!! Everyday, he was a very busy little man - lists of construction and repair and fixing etc "jobs" he had to tend to, rain or shine. This video warms my heart. What a wonderful memory you now have to be able to watch and hear him when he's grown. He's precious. God bless!!

[@sandyjuntunen4088]

My 3 year old son was the same. He had a whole imaginary life. He owned a ranch in the mountains, had a big 18 wheeler, a " Kitt" car, horses. His " friend man" Jim was the foreman. His stories were so full of details, so interesting. He's a very smart guy, never caused us any trouble. It's fun to watch kids grow up like that.

[@virginiaviola5097]

When my youngest daughter was 3 she had an imaginary friend called Michael James, and the things Michael James and Immy did were quite amazing...she was so entertaining because I never knew what she was going to come out with. My favourite tho is the morning she told me “ you don’t know this, but I’m the person who strings all the tennis racquets in the world”. I was floored 😂 I said really? When do you find the time to do all that? and she said, “ well, you know at night when you are sleeping in bed, and you think that I’m sleeping there beside you?” ( she slept with me at the time)...and I said yes? and she said “ well, I’m really not, I’m out stringing all the tennis racquets.” We didn’t play tennis ourselves, or even have racquets, I’ve absolutely no idea what prompted that story, but 25 years later it still makes me laugh.

[@timopper5488]

@@virginiaviola5097 That is certainly a very specific occupation! And apparently she worked the night shift.

[@virginiaviola5097]

@@timopper5488 yup...while I thought that she was right there beside me, sleeping! But that’s the kind of thing she came out with all the time, she was an original to say the least. But the stringing of all the world’s tennis racquets was by far the most unique lol. And she continued on being a kid full of surprises. Even when she got to her teens, when a parent/teacher interview revealed her to be a highly gifted mathematician ( who knew?), and a gifted operatic singer who had taught herself all the greatest arias by watching Sumi Jo, and practising of an afternoon after school before the rest of us came home from work. I used to look at her and think ‘whose child are you?’. I hope this little fellow continues to bring as much joy to his family as my daughter has to mine. I’ll add too, that I have a soft spot for kids with imaginary friends. I had Mr Mockey. I don’t recall Mr Mockey myself, but I do wonder if some kids come into this world with a spirit guide.

[@timopper5488]

@@virginiaviola5097 Could be. Wow, your daughter had a wild imagination!

[@virginiaviola5097]

@@timopper5488 she was a delight. When she was small she always wanted to help me. One day when she was 3 and a bit I was hanging clothes out on the line, and she wanted to help by handing me the pegs, as she usually did, but I was in a hurry that morning, as we had an appointment, so I thanked her but said that mummy was in a hurry today, so I’d just do it myself this time, and she said: “ God put me on this earth to help you, so if you don’t let me help you, what’s the point of me?”. Again, floored lol. Even tho my faith is very strong, I’m not a churchgoer, so that kind of came out of nowhere too. I told her that I’m sure that God wouldn’t mind on this one occasion. When she was a teenager whose room resembled a mushroom farm, and sighed on the rare occasions she was asked to pick up a tea towel etc, I would remind her of this..it’s a shame that God’s helper turned into the quintessential teenager lol.
