'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.

When this kid was born, he drove his mum back from the hospital. Legend.

[psychshell]

Its been over 2 years now. Surely this kid has built 14 villages, sheared 50 flocks of sheep, and married Ronan McAlsky's daughter.

[sergiom]

He speaks with so much confidence that for a sec I started to believe that he just bought a car.

Even the way he looks out the window as he's thinking about EVERYTHING he has to to today kills me! I also love the way he segues into what he wants to have for dinner and decides to wrap it up with a nice shower. The downside of this video was I showed my wife who now thinks I'm a lazy piece of *$@& because I can't accomplish half of what this 4-year-old can in a day.

This kid has been listening very closely to every word his dad has said. He's taken it all in, got it down & he's full to the brim 100% Irish. I'm Irish but Thank god for subtitles.

This kid has a mortgage to pay, kids to feed, sheep to shear and hedges to trim, but still makes time to have a cup of coffee with his mam ☺️

[TheLastSongbird]

This kid is an absolute gem! Says a lot about his respects to you both :)

I love how he explicitly says he isn’t doing any of this money, he’s just doing it to help out, so sweet.

[MN-brnb]

So cute!! He’s not only got a list, he’s got strategy - “the police won’t be out today.” Lolll
His brain is a sponge and the accent is so refreshing to hear.

This is very clearly a 55-year-old man trapped in a child's body, but he's not letting that stop him. Sure, he's got stuff to be doin'

[patriciaemeigh]

What a sweet child. He must have a wonderful family and the men in the family are obviously great role models! 💕

[sengasingleton]

Fantastic vocabulary for a 4yr old, credit to those who love him.

[jpbkqni]

Everyone keep in mind he just got his license yesterday. He's just getting started.

[SongBillong]

Not only has he listened so carefully to his dad's words, he's also clearly watched his mannerisms (crossed arms, little nods, etc.). Absolutely amazing!

[jangaroo]

Sounds like this little man has wonderful loving real men in his life to imitate and a wonderful loving patient mummy, he is a precious child thank you for sharing 💓🇦🇺

[dboyd]

This boy LOVES HIS FATHER!!! What a cutie pie. So Adorable!

[davidbrock]

His real job is to keep his mother amused. Love the "I'm a busy man" line.

[raerae]

Based on everything this adorable kid is saying, sounds like his dad is awesome.

[safeysmith]

He sounds like he’s got some good, hard working, good hearted, life and spirit! You are lucky to have him by your side. He’ll have your back as he gets older.

I've put this on my speed dial so I can watch him most mornings to start my what a wonderful household he must live in to be such a wonderful child! May they always be laughing!
