A mother asked for help with the dishes and instead got a hilarious pep talk from her young son.

Doing household chores is rarely, if ever, someone’s idea of a good, fun time. They are activities we must do; no one likes feeling obligated or compelled to do something. But as we get older and become fully functional adults, we quickly learn that household chores are simply part of life, even if no one enjoys doing them.

Many household chores need to be completed regularly. However, among all the things that need to be done around the house, one of the worst must be washing the dishes. Depending on the number of dirty dishes in the sink, it can be time-consuming. But doing the dishes is one of the most rewarding chores. You can literally see the results of your work after cleaning a dish.

A short but hilarious clip posted on YouTube shows one young man who obviously did not want to do the dishes. Instead, he tried another way to get out of the chore. He decided to be a cheerleader and gave his mother a hysterical pep talk when she asked him for help.

The video begins with the mother asking her son for help with a household chore. The little guy’s response is hysterical.

“Hey, Mommy, you’re 40, and I’m 4, and so, you are older than me,” he said. “And so, you, I think you can do it by yourself. I believe in you. I believe in you, Mom.”

No parent wants their child to tell them no or back-talk them when they ask them to do something, but how could you keep from laughing if this was your young child's answer? That’s precisely what the mother in the video did. She burst into laughter, likely unable to believe what her son had just said.

It's unclear how this situation ended, but despite his funny answer, I'm guessing the little guy probably ended up helping with the dishes.
