A non-stop Saturday morning competition designed by parents to make their children's life a "livin' hell". Similar to the Olympics - Chore-a-thon is a major international event in which thousands of children participate in a variety of competitions. These include the 100M mop, freestyle bowl scrub, laundry toss and synchronized dusting. Parents - like the IOC rule over the games and govern activities to ensure participants abide by the rules.
