See the Adorable Reunion of the UPS-Obsessed Boy And His Favorite Delivery Driver

[UglyGreed]

Little boys having an obsession with trucks is common, but one 4-year-old in Colorado Springs took it to a new level.

Carson Kight became such a fan of his local UPS delivery man, who he calls Mr. Ernie, that the company decided to give him a truck of his own.

The company uploaded a video of Carson making deliveries to his neighbors in his miniature truck with the help of a homemade map.

The feel-good video didn't mention that Mr. Ernie, whose real name is Ernest Lagasca, was recently transferred to a different route and no longer sees Carson on a daily basis. Even though the switch helps Lagasca because it involves more driving and less heavy lifting, Lagasca misses his pal.

5. Reminds me of

the days when we all knew the workers like the Mailman. I still remember Mr. Rose, what he looked like when he delivered our mail in the 70s.
