have the attention span of a gnat

To be easily distracted. My son has the attention span of a gnat, I swear. If I tell him to do something, he forgets about it almost instantly! We all have the attention span of gnats after so many years of multitasking. What, do you have the attention span of a gnat? I asked you to print that hours ago!
