Toddler praised for helping offload bakkie

This little boy has the Hulk's strength and Iron Man's personality.

The kids are finally packed, prepped, and hopefully settling back into their classrooms by now. 

It's okay to admit you’re doing a little happy dance on the inside. Because we get it – juggling work, keeping up with the kids, and making sure the fridge and pantry are stocked can be a lot.

But for some parents who’ve got the parenting thing down, having the kids at home isn’t so bad, especially when they pitch in to help.

We recently saw a great example of this when a young boy, who didn't look older than five or six, showed that a little hard work doesn't just make you strong but also builds character.

In the video shared on social media, the young boy is unloading goods from the back of a Toyota bakkie, helping what we assume are workers. 

He carried a 24-pack of Coca-Cola and other heavy items, impressing everyone who watched in awe.

What stood out most was how happy he was to help and how seriously he took his task. He was determined to clear the bakkie on his own, looking completely content with his responsibility.

The comments flooded in with many joking that this boy was their boss in another life because he looked like an old soul in a young body:

  • "Worked with him in the summer of 95, outstanding fella."

  • "Nobody talking about the strength of this little boy."

  • "That's how you get 20 years experience at 18."

  • "Worked with him in 1988, he was my supervisor. Amazing guy."
