“Tiring,” the boy told the camera crew, before letting out a hilariously heavy sigh.
“I really wish I was in school right now,” he added, going on to note that he shoveled snow that day not just for his family, but for “my neighbors, friends, probably people I even don’t know.”

The official Twitter account for the Canadian Armed Forces in the United States of America even gave the boy a shout-out.

“I think a lot of us can relate to that amount of exhaustion with everything right now so I think he captured the emotions of many people,” said parent Rachel DiSaia.
As for Carter’s sighs, DiSaia said that was just business as usual for the boy.
“I think I could serve Carter his favourite meal and I would get a similar sigh,” they said in an interview that aired on CBC radio. “It just comes with him.”
