Little boy logic

Dominic is not klutzy. But he's always getting hurt because he isn't paying attention to what is going on around him. He's usually talking or looking everywhere but where he's headed. Jon and I are always telling him "Dominic, pay attention!" The poor kid hears this every day.
Just yesterday he was busy talking and clothes lined himself on a board at a neighbor's. He'd walked by it several times, but just wasn't paying attention that time.

Today he was slinging his little shovel around and almost hit me.
"Dominic, pay attention, you almost hit me."
"I WAS paying attention mom."
"No, Dominic you almost hit me with your shovel."
"If I had not been paying attention I would have hit you."
I couldn't argue with that one.
