The Digger Man

Every now and then someone does something that restores your faith in the goodness of humanity. One of the best examples I have of that was the day I stopped on a run with my toddler son in a jogging stroller so he could watch a construction machine dig a hole.
When the 'digger' operator realized my wee boy was transfixed, he jumped out of his cab and threw something into the hole he was digging. The police officer guarding the hole smiled and I wondered what they hell the guy was up to.
The next thing I knew the Digger Man is using his digger claw to collect up a little package along with some dirt from the bottom of the hole. He then dumped the little package, along with some dirt, just a couple of feet from the front tire of the jogger. My son's mouth was agape. Digger Man then proceeded to use the outside edge of the claw to gently tap, tap, tap the package closer and closer to my son. I was a little horrified at the moving claw's proximity to my still-diapered child, but Digger Man did seem to know what he was doing.
The police officer bent to pick up the package and hand it to my son, who was spellbound. Inside the package was a brand new Scoop character (a digger guy the size of my son's tiny hand) from the Bob the Builder TV series.
Needless to say, the boy fed himself dinner with the wee digger claw that night and fell asleep clutching it to his chest.
The End.
