(25,841 posts)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.

(254 posts)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.

(9,426 posts)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.

(32,822 posts)Id 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 Id 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 dogs medication, not mine.

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!

(14,489 posts)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.
