When a nine-year-old hands you her cherished doll and asks you to look after it, what’s a dad to do? Why, take that doll along on the job, of course! Life can be tough for a young girl, and sometimes her beloved doll needs a little adventure while she enjoys some downtime with coloring and cartoons. This is exactly what one dad, Jake Thompson, decided to do.
His daughter, Lily, was thrilled when she asked if he could take her doll, named “Lucy,” on his trucking route. Jake happily obliged. “We thought it would be fun to share our journey with pictures,” he shared on his company’s social media page. “I wanted to make sure Lily knew that Lucy was in good hands and not just tucked away in the sleeper cabin.”
While loading grain from their family farm for delivery, Jake took Lucy along for the ride. He reminisced about the priceless expression on his father’s face when he stepped out of the truck holding Lucy, jokingly telling him, “Your granddaughter asked me to babysit.” He even snapped a photo with his dad and Lucy to send back to Lily as proof they were keeping an eye on her beloved doll.
The Takeaway
If your nine-year-old entrusts you with her doll, you better step up to the plate and babysit! Just be sure to keep any secret snacks, like Coke and Slim Jims for lunch, under wraps from her “mom.”
