*"Sam's life is chores — grueling, unrelenting chores. And it's not fair."*

## Plot

In the story, Sam complains about having to do chores around when nobody else around him does. His family doesn't have to do the chores, his school staff doesn't have to do the chores, and even you don't have to do the chores. He then tells the audience that he wishes that he could do normal things a kid could do like playing sports, relaxing, or even playing with friends. His mom forces him to do more chores and he complains more and more.

It is revealed at the end that this is Sam filming a Señor Wooly video and says it is not fair. The camera zooms out as Señor Wooly himself says that the video was terrible and they should film it again. Sam collapses to the floor and the video ends.

Tengo que lavar los platos.
Tengo que cortar el césped.
Tengo que hacer mi cama.

Tengo que barrer el suelo.
Tengo que hacer la compra.
Tengo que cuidar al perro.

¡Y no es JUSTO!

¡Mi hermano no tiene que hacer nada!
¡Mi hermana no tiene que hacer nada!
¡Mis padres no tienen que hacer nada!
¡Y tú! ¡No tienes que hacer nada!

Quisiera practicar deportes.
Quisiera descansar.
Quisiera jugar videojuegos…videojuegos.

Quisiera ir a la playa.
Quisiera patinar.
Quisiera estar con mis amigos…con mis amigos.

—Mamá, no es justo.
—La vida no es justa. Limpia el baño. ¡Dos veces!

Tengo que poner la mesa.
Tengo que quitar la mesa.
Tengo que sacudir los muebles.

Tengo que lavar la ropa.
Tengo que lavar los carros.
Tengo que sacar la basura.

¡Y no es JUSTO!

¡Mis primos no tienen que hacer nada!
¡Mi abuela no tiene que hacer nada!
¡Mi perro no tiene que hacer nada!
¡Y tú! ¡No tienes que hacer nada!

Quisiera practicar deportes.
Quisiera descansar.
Quisiera jugar videojuegos…videojuegos.

Quisiera ir a la playa.
Quisiera patinar.
Quisiera estar con mis amigos…con mis amigos.

—Mamá, necesito dormir.
—¿Dormir? ¡Ja! ¡Arregla tu cuarto! No, ¡arregla todos los cuartos!

Tengo que hacer la tarea.
Tengo que lavar pupitres.
Tengo que limpiar la pizarra.

Tengo que tomar pruebas.
Tengo que escribir ensayos.
Tengo que…pensar.

¡Los maestros no tienen que hacer nada!
¡Las secretarias no tienen que hacer nada!
¡La directora no tiene que hacer nada!
¡Y usted! ¡No tiene que hacer nada!

Y no es justo…

I have to wash the dishes.
I have to mow the lawn.
I have to make my bed.

I have to sweep the floor.
I have to do the shopping.
I have to take care of the dog.

And it’s not FAIR!

My brother doesn’t have to do anything!
My sister doesn’t have to do anything!
My parents don’t have to do anything.
And you! You don’t have to do anything!

I wish I could practice sports.
I wish I could rest.
I wish I could play video games…video games.

I wish I could go to the beach.
I wish I could skate.
I wish I could hang out with my friends…with my friends.

“Mom, it’s not fair.”
“Life isn’t fair. Clean the bathroom. Twice!”

I have to set the table.
I have to clear the table.
I have to dust the furniture.

I have to wash the clothes.
I have to wash the cars.
I have to take out the trash.

And it’s not fair!

My cousins don’t have to do anything!
My grandma doesn’t have to do anything!
My dog doesn’t have to do anything!
And you! You don’t have to do anything!

I wish I could practice sports.
I wish I could rest.
I wish I could play video games…video games.

I wish I could go to the beach.
I wish I could skate.
I wish I could hang out with my friends…with my friends.

“Mom, I need to sleep.”
“Sleep? Ha! Clean up your room! No, clean up all of the rooms!”

I have to do homework.
I have to wash desks.
I have to clean the chalkboard.

I have to take quizzes.
I have to write essays.
I have to…think.

The teachers don’t have to do anything!
The secretaries don’t have to do anything!
The principal doesn’t have to do anything!
And you! You don’t have to do anything!

And it’s not fair…
