How To Teach A Young Kid To Play Chess

My eight year old son has been asking me to teach him how to play chess for several months. I honestly avoided it because I worried that he was too young to learn, I did not want him to become frustrated with the game before he was able to memorize all the rules for how the pieces move and actually play.

Well, he couldn't take it anymore and yesterday (his first day of summer vacation) he cornered me and made me promise I was going to teach him.
