(upbeat music) - Penn, hello. We're not gonna leave this? Squirrel! - Five years ago. We were trying to move. - So we're gonna tell a story now. - Okay. - Okay. - So five years ago we
were trying to move. I was like, you know
what would be a big help, you take the kids away for a weekend, just to get them out of my hair. I'm gonna go through and
just like, get rid of stuff. I got a dumpster, like, I'll do it. I'll do it myself. Just give me the peace and quiet. I'm gonna work for 48 hours. - Rig
ht and I got the kids out of there. So, Saint Penn. - Saint Penn. - Yeah. - Okay. - Awesome. - At the end of the weekend he calls me and he's two hours
away, he goes, hey babe, I can't find my keys. - That was true. That's a true story. I couldn't find them. We looked everywhere. - Everywhere. - Everywhere. - So I, after working for like 48 hours, got in my car with his spare set of keys and drove two hours. As I pull into the driveway
at the house he's staying at, I see this like, little
glimme
r on top of his roof of his car. He had put the keys on top
of the roof of his car. So me, I drove there two
hours, I took the keys, very tempted not to
throw them in the ocean, I just threw them at him,
got in my car and left. Yeah. And I found his keys in the refrigerator. I found his keys on
top of a lot of things. Usually on top of things. - Yeah. Yeah. - Yeah, I usually check where food is. 'Cause usually come in
and go straight for food. So I usually go by the pantry. (laughs) - It's like
you're looking
for roaches or something. - Yeah. - I will find Penn's
pants in weird places. Again, like in front of the refrigerator, in front of the sink. - So, can I explain the refrigerator one? - Yeah. - So I was in a bathrobe
and I was wearing my pants and I was getting, like I
thought I was coming down and just get a peanut butter sandwich. But then I also wanted
to get some ice water. And so I opened the freezer and I got the peanut
butter and the ice water. And in between that, I realiz
ed that I would be more comfortable if I just slept in my boxers,
so I took my pants off. And I was like, I'll
just carry my pants up with the peanut butter sandwich. But then when I got the ice
water, I only have two hands. So, I left the pants downstairs. - Where have you found
weird things in your house? - So apparently being on top of my car, there's something on my face. Not here, nor here. - No, it's right there. - Oh, is it? - [Kim] It's right there. - Okay well I was climbing
on top of t
he car. - Why? - 'Cause I left my keys in the car. Fake left my keys in the car. I know people are gonna be like, man, there's an the anti locking
mechanism, send comment. But no, no, that was like a fun thing. - But you have left your
keys in weird places. - Yes. - [Penn] Okay, I'm out
here shooting the shoes. I just need Kim to come
outside and look at them like she's irritated,
but she can't hear me. Kim! If I move then the shot's not gonna work. Kim! There's no way she can't hear me, right.

Socks. Socks everywhere. In every corner where two walls meet and on completely random surfaces. Dirty socks BESIDE the laundry hamper.
My favorite adult ADHD moment was losing my wallet and keys one morning. I was watching a webinar and couldn't find them when it was time to leave for work. I found them 2 days later, under my large wave ergomic keyboard. That's right, I accidentally set the keyboard over them, while watching a webinar on (. . .wait for it. . .) getting organized with ADHD.
When you have ADHD, hear him explain "the refrigerator one" and you're like "yup. make sense to me" just to see her reaction and realized you're not "supposed" to think it make sense.
ADHD: I don't have my ducks in a row. I have squirrels and they are having a rave.
I respect how Penn honors his ADHD🙌
Reminds me of a comment that I read on a Facebook post about forgetful children. It said (more or less) "Yes, children do need discipline and guidance, but good grief, how many adults have bad days or forget their stuff on a regular basis."
I once left my groceries in my trunk cause I forgot I went grocery shopping on the way home from the grocery store. Yeah...ADHD.
My ADHD was seriously stressing me out yesterday, and then this morning I woke to this. Thank you. I've only been diagnosed for a few months and your ADHD videos are something I revisit often when I need to laugh about it. So, yeah, just thank you. 😊
I love that someone explains ADHD for us. I am ADHD and squirrel.
My nephew has ADHD and is learning to deal with it and we were so excited to see Penn with the ADHD shirt that says ‘ADHD is Awesome’ that we bought one for him. Thanks for spotlighting it into a positive not a negative!
Not only do I have ADHD, but two of my boys do as well. I totally identify with stopping in the middle of a task to “quickly” do this other thing and then hours later remember I never finished the first task! But even with my tendency to misplace things, I also feel Kim’s pain of finding things in really weird places because my boys will pick something up to fiddle with while moving through the house and then absently drop it somewhere without even realizing they had picked it up in the first place! I can’t tell you how many times over the years I’ve exclaimed, “Why is X in the...never mind, I know why. SMH”, LOL!
I have adhd and I recently walked around my bedroom over and over again to find my phone...it was right on the ground...
The first time I left my husband home with the kiddos for any prolonged period of time was when I flew to stay with my sister and help out with her newborn. That first night I called the kids, told them goodnight... got ANOTHER call an hour later, thought it was husband telling me how much he missed me- nope. "Honey? I can't find my keys anywhere. I think I lost them." Mind you, I'm 2,000 miles away at this point. (Spoiler alert: They were in the fridge.)
The Holderness Family is AMAZING ! I love that they break stigma surrounding ADHD!
Imagine being the wife/mom with ADHD taking care of the family, the dogs, the house AND homeschooling. Life is ironic. 👍
I have what I call wtf brain hour where I walk around the house checking that I haven't left everywhere and the fridge open etc. It's been a lifesaver because it doesn't build up if I do it often
The lyrics Penn comes out with is amazing. This song parody is awesome😂
I love that you are so open and honest about having ADHD. But I would really like to see more from Kim about how she handles it. My husbamd has ADHD, and it's hard on both of us. The stress of living with people with ADHD is huge. I would love you guys to do a video on 10 ways to survive your partner's ADHD, similar to your 10 ADHD lifehacks.
As I was listening to Penn’s story about the pants in front of the fridge, I saw the logic in every step. Regarding keys, I totally understand that. Sometimes, it is just a matter of forgetting to finish the process of removing the keys from the ignition. My mom, who also has ADHD, managed to leave her keys in the ignition, engine on, locked in the car, for the entirety of Titanic when we went to see it at the movie theatre. She’d simply gotten distracted and forgotten to take the keys out.
Squirrel also equals "oooh shiny!" Why do people try to talk to me when there is so much stimuli around?? And.. Uh. Lost my train of thought 🤭
