Kevin has a pretty dangerous job and I don't often hear stories about what he does. The rule usually is I don't hear about sketchy jobs until they are done, if at all.
Today though was different.
He was running a loader that has a bucket that a small convertible will fit in. A customer came in with a truck and trailer needing material. He had a little boy with him who was having the best day ever seeing all these big boy toys.
After Kevin talked to the dad about what was needed, Kevin explained that the trailer would need to be backed up.
The dad picked up the little boy and put him in the trailer to ride while he backed up a little bit while
Kevin climbed up into the loader to wait.
Once he was up there he looked down to see the boy looking concerned. Seeing Kevin looking at him the boy sternly raised his hand to him, signaling him (appropriately) to wait.
Kevin motioned backed Okay but the boy continued to signal until his dad stopped and got him down.
Kevin loaded the trailer while the little boy watched and nodded. When he finished and pulled along the trailer, he spotted the boy again.
He was giving Kevin an enthusiastic Thumbs Up.
Kevin climbed down to talk with the dad. He laughed and said "Okay, that was one of the cutest things I've ever seen" and he explained what happened.
The boy nodded while Kevin told the story. Kevin told him "You were safe, weren't you? You did a good job!"
Can you imagine? Best day ever. For both boys perhaps.
