Either the 4 year old attention span, but maybe also he doesn't know what a "weekend" is? 🤔

And yet, if you promised ice cream a month ago, the child could probably recall every small detail, from what you were both wearing, the number of cars on the street, the song on the radio, etc.

Me, every morning leading up to the day: “Remember, dad, you said we’re going to Fuddruckers on Sunday.”

Exactly why my kid remembers every gift I ever got him, but remembers nothing my wife gave him. It's the expectation, the wait. Nothing given at the exact moment the kid asked for is appreciated. Same goes for grown ups, not just kids. If you could buy everything you ever wanted at the exact same time you thought of it, that is a curse.

Most kids cannot remember what happened when they were four.

I'm an adult and I also don't have the faintest idea what happened when I was 4.
