The caption under this boy’s name on the CTV evening news said it all: “Carter Trozzolo, Exhausted.”

Carter was out shoveling snow in front of his house after a big storm in Toronto, Canada, when a news crew approached him to ask how it was going. “Tiring,” Carter told them, heaving a world-weary sigh you wouldn’t expect from someone his age. Shrugging, the boy let his eyes close momentarily before continuing, “I really wish I was in school right now.”

When the clip aired on television, viewers couldn’t help but laugh at Carter’s honest assessment of the joys of snow removal. Meaghan Derynck tweeted out a recording of Carter’s interview with the caption, “One of my favourite kids was on the news tonight in Toronto and I have officially died. I’m dead. The name plate alone. Gold.”

Her video went viral with over 3.2 million views, and it’s safe to assume “Carter Trozzolo, Exhausted” is poised to become a meme the internet will always cherish! Check out the priceless interview in the video below, and don’t forget to share this story.
