1. WOW - thanks for posting!

[pansypoo53219]

48. FIST BUMB!

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

2. That is beyond adorable.

The guys (and gals) who do trash pickup work very hard in all weather, and often get no respect. I think that perhaps the best thing that little boy is learning is that all work matters, all workers are important.

3. And he got to pull the lever!

[FailureToCommunicate]

39. I wanna pull the lever too!!

Lucky kid.

[demmiblue]

7. +1 Absolutely

[MarianJack]

9. As my grand father always said,...

...and passed on to my mom, and to me, and to my son, If it's honest, it's honorable.

PEACE!

[bullsnarfle]

27. Damn right...

I believe the folks that pick up our trash should make more $ than Congress - they work a hell of a lot harder, and get a damn-sight more accomplished.

[BobTheSubgenius]

50. Not to mention getting rid of trash

Instead of creating a whole lot more.

4. So cute! And he had to give each worker a hug!

[More_Cowbell]

16. And a kiss! nt

[FakeNoose]

5. Sooooo cute!

6. There's the America I know and love.

[Scarsdale]

47. Yes, it is the America we

want to see. No prejudice, no hatred just regular people doing their normal activities. This brought tears to my eyes. The little guy is certainly being raised with the correct attitude, all people are alike. I think this is normal in most communities, it is not reported. All we hear about is the hate and divisiveness. That should all have been left behind many, many years ago.

[MarianJack]

8. So danged CUTE!

I bet he made those men's day.

PEACE!

[raven mad]

14. You just took my very depressing (so far) morning (8:18 am here)

And turned it into a big smile.😁

THANK YOU!😺

[denbot]

15. Thank you packman.

I needed this..

[TrogL]

17. I was joyful on pickup day

I’d often get pink eye and my mother would put cream on my eyes at bedtime. During the night it would seal my eyes shut and I’d wake up in a panic because I was blind.

I found a tube and threw it out and watched the garbage men take it away. Unfortunately it was the dog’s medication, not mine.

[lillypaddle]

31. You devil!

LOL!

[pandr32]

18. Well, that worked--smiling big-time now!

[marlakay]

19. That is so cute! My dog watches out window

And loves to watch the big arms come out and pick up cans. Our city has one driver wth truck with automatic huge steel arms.

[hibbing]

20. That is awesome, thanks for the great smile this morning! n/t

[lunamagica]

21. K&R!

[wallyworld2]

22. That is so great!

And those guys were so cool

I can guarantee you those guys had a few more hundred more stops to make and they took the time to make that child's day.

He will always remember the day he ran that garbage truck!

[Ferrets are Cool]

23. The interaction is fantastic!!! nt

[Still Blue in PDX]

25. Happy tears! I really needed this today. Thanks, Packman. nt

[Ohiogal]

26. Adorable all around! Thank you for sharing!

[TheBlackAdder]

28. Yep, it did. Thanks!

[Oppaloopa]

29. My son does this for a living. He has had little boys react the same way. They know all the differ

ent truck models Front loaders side loaders rear loaders.

[lillypaddle]

30. There's something special about garbage trucks

for kids. My granddaughter always looked forward to trash pick-up day, and would stand at the window waiting for the truck.

This video made my day! What nice guys. I bet those hugs & kisses made it worth their lost time!

[cp]

32. Joy!

Thank you.

[demigoddess]

33. I love those men!! so kind and patient.

[Sam McGee]

34. From the mouths of babes . . .

[Amaryllis]

35. Needed that. Welcome break from today's breaking news. Thanks!

[Kind of Blue]

36. Nothing like unasked for and unabashed kisses from a child.

[Upthevibe]

37. Wow....

I actually have tears in my eyes. This is so sweet.....

[FailureToCommunicate]

40. Thanks packman. That helped a lot after a rough day.

[FailureToCommunicate]

41. And remember, the reason Reverend King was in Memphis was to support the garbage workers...

[Blue1963]

42. Faith in humanity...

Restored. Thanks I needed that.

[catchnrelease]

43. He has treats for them too

if I remember this right, he gives them treats when they come by. That's what he has in the plastic bags in the beginning of the video. So sweet all around.

[tblue37]

44. I bet those men look forward to that stop just as much as the little guy does. nt

[radical noodle]

45. Made my day

Not only the little boy, but the workers too. They took time out of a busy day to make a little kid happy.

[calimary]

46. Awwwwww... what a special event for everybody!

And for us - who get to watch! Those men made that little boy’s day, and he sure returned the favor.

Made me smile! Thanks for posting this, packman!

49. All little boys love big trucks..

Fire trucks, semis, garbage trucks....it don't matter.

And, one of the best things about little kids is that they don't give a hoot about whether you're a Democrat or Republican, whether you're rich or poor, where you're from, or the color of your skin.

We should all remember to be more child-like more often.

...... .......

[kysrsoze]

51. That is SO cute. My son is 5 and he chose a garbage truck

with some of his birthday money from his grandparents. He loves it. I’m thinking Tonka trucks for Christmas.

[defacto7]

52. Beautiful!

Smiles here!

[magicarpet]

53. So, so cute.... Just precious. A bag of treats and a kiss.

[CelticWinter]

54. Now this is what life is all about

being there for each other...too damn sweet.

[MuseRider]

55. OMG they all got kisses!

How awesome is that!

What a wonderful thing all around.
