    rikk forde @made_in_ca. 2d Replying to @Dont Call Me Debby I'd say he's much more educated than many and a resource. He's a farmer and he enjoys his trade no matter the age, his wasn't from playing with tonka toys but the real thing. Someone of that caliber deserves respect, again, no matter the age.

    Grat Pygmy Glottochro... ♥ Follow @GreatValueArhat Good on the older dude. I remember every single person from my childhood who treated me with any sense of dignity- not belittling children means a lot to them. Children with very specific interests like this want desperately for someone to take them seriously.

    doomer @uncledoomer. 1d a school guidance counselor needs to swoop in and tell this kid he can make money by sitting on the computer taking zoom calls so he gives up his pipe dream of operating useless farm equipment

    Figaro Newton What if I said this is how kids are when you treat them with respect, talk to them, cultivate their interests and not just shoo them back inside the house bc you think they're in the way? @d la reina 1d ●

    Julien @fubroshi - 11h No hate, but I work with kids in the summer and this is just they are when they're around adults who don't patronize them or make them feel ignored/unsafe. A lot of them will absolutely hold a conversation with you if they're given the chance.

    Poquessian @poquessing-2d I like the older guy he's talking to. Not condescending at all, treats the kid as an intellectual equal on the subject matter.
