Mondays are hard. But this past Monday was especially hard for 9-year-old Canadian Carter Trozzolo. The young boy was tasked with shoveling snow after a massive blizzard hit Southern Ontario.
With big sighs and empty, tired, eyes Trozzolo explained to Canadian news channel CTV, how the snowstorm impacted his day.
"I really wish I was in school right now," he said. With another big sigh, he looked up at the falling snow and quietly added, "I'm tired."
Trozzolo's long exasperated sighs and one-liners became an instant viral hit. Anyone who's ever had to shovel snow understands how unenjoyable the job can be.
But despite his weariness, Trozzolo continued to help others around him. The 9-year-old explained that he wasn't just shoveling for his own family, he was also doing it
"For my neighbors, friends, probably people I don't even know," Trozzolo said.
It's been a day since a winter storm walloped parts of Ontario, with some people still digging out.\n\nThe seemingly endless shovelling has left many, including this Toronto boy, exhausted.\n\nWatch the full report: https://bit.ly/3nYHb2f\u00a0pic.twitter.com/J7jnRaujxJ— CTV News (@CTV News) 1642540637
Trozzolo's relatable expressions sparked joy across the internet.
One of my favourite kids was on the news tonight in Toronto and I have officially died. I\u2019m dead. The name plate alone. Gold.pic.twitter.com/3XNs27oHoh— Meaghan Derynck (@Meaghan Derynck) 1642470851

So many found the exhausted third-grader entertaining that CTV decided to check back in with him the following day to see how his snow shoveling job was going.
Unfortunately for Trozzolo, school was still closed due to the snow. But it seems a good night of sleep raised his spirits as he continued to shovel snow.
"There was a lot of snow," Trozzolo said. "I'm still tired."
Trozzolo is unsure what to do with his newfound viral fame. He said he's going to not think about it for now.
