A mother asked her 4-year-old son to help with the dishes, but instead of helping, he gave her a funny pep talk.
Chores are a part of daily life, but they’re often seen as boring tasks we have to do. As we grow up, we learn that these tasks are important for keeping our homes clean and organized. Kids, however, don’t always see it this way. They might try to avoid chores in creative ways.
The funny moment happened when a mom asked her young son to help wash the dishes. Instead of saying yes or just saying no, the 4-year-old boy came up with a clever answer. He said, “Hey, Mommy, you’re 40, and I’m 4, and so, you are older than me. And so, you, I think you can do it by yourself. I believe in you. I believe in you, Mom.”
The mom couldn’t help but laugh at her son’s unexpected response. The boy used their age difference as a reason why he shouldn’t have to help. He even tried to encourage his mom by saying he believed in her.
The video doesn’t show how the situation ended, but the mom probably found a way to get her son to help. She might have turned dishwashing into a fun activity they could do together.
This story reminds us how important it is for parents and kids to talk openly. When kids feel comfortable expressing themselves, even if they’re trying to get out of chores, it can lead to stronger relationships and chances to teach important lessons.
It’s worth noting that kids often copy what they see adults do. If parents have a positive attitude about chores and treat them as a normal part of life, kids are more likely to feel the same way as they grow up.
