00:00

Thank you We need cooperation at home Ala shmoop you

00:08

know how your mom is always asking you to clean

00:10

your room or take out the garbage or stop taking

00:12

the neighbor's garbage cans to make yourself a drum kit

00:15

No just us anyway and you know how you don't

00:19

always do the things mama asked because she always picks

00:22

the worst time to ask you to do him like

00:24

when you're just about to finish carving your own drum

00:26

sticks out of your dining room table Sure you know

00:28

you should do it but what's the harm in waiting

00:31

to carry out mom's orders there Well besides this table

00:33

leg isn't gonna carve itself so you tell mom you'll

00:36

do it later and later and later look familiar Yeah

00:40

well guess what that's not cooperating In fact that's the

00:43

opposite of cooperating when you complain endlessly instead of helping

00:46

solve a problem you're becoming part of a bigger one

00:48

like having a hack your way through a cornfield to

00:51

get to school every morning A family like a baseball

00:53

team requires cooperation If one of the players on the

00:56

team checks out well the other team will score run

00:59

After run after run we don't know about you but

01:01

we don't love it when our team is slaughtered maybe

01:03

not the best choice of words there moving away from

01:05

the whole slaughtering analogy What would happen if your mom

01:08

and dad suddenly decided they didn't want to cooperate with

01:11

you that from now on you're on your own pal

01:14

Because you're looking out on ly for numero uno that

01:17

means no more rides to school from mom No more

01:21

food waiting for you at home no more doing your

01:22

laundry all that water and electricity use while someone's gotta

01:26

pay for it won't be them oana rent around this

01:29

area Yeah six fifty a month power they accept cash

01:32

or cheque Sounds great right Well but seriously if you

01:34

don't want to do your part help out around the

01:36

house why should anyone else do theirs That's there you

01:39

want to pitch a tent in the forest and forage

01:41

to stay alive Hale go for it But if you'd

01:43

rather have a roof over your head well then kitchen

01:46

Listen your parents when they ask you to do something

01:48

and realize that they can't do everything alone they need

01:50

Your help They're getting old And because we're still ashamed

01:53

of our last analogy while we're going to try One

01:55

more family household is like a carefully constructed game of

01:59

jenga If one person doesn't carry his or her own

02:02

weight the whole mess can come toppling down well a

02:06

rapidly crumbling home slightly better than a slaughtering But we're

02:09

going to call it a day on analogies You
