Some toddlers get excited to cuddle with their favorite teddy bear, others squeal of joy when it's time for dessert. But for 2-year-old triplets Holden, Heaton, and Wilder, nothing makes them happier than seeing their best friends: the neighborhood garbage collectors. 

This unexpected but adorable friendship captured hearts across the internet when mom Martha Sugalski's video from "garb day," as the triplets call it, went viral. Over 33 million people have watched the cuties run up greet the garbage pickup crew, Andrew Black, Rob Whitmore, and Chad Cover. Of course, the friendly triplets don't show up empty handed—they have drinks ready for their friends and even help bring the trash over to the truck (despite the fact that the garbage can is bigger than these 2-year-olds are!).

This strong bond has been forming since the triplets were born. Their mom would wave to the garbage men during walks around their Florida neighborhood and it wasn't long before the little ones caught on. 

"After a couple months, the garbage truck would beep the horn and the babies would look at the truck, and then Andrew would wave and say 'Hi babies!' from the window," Martha told BuzzFeed. "Eventually, he'd stop the truck, get out, take off his gloves, and say hi to the babies."

The cute triplets have now become so close with the crew that they know when to expect them each Tuesday and Friday. Lately, Heaton has even been calling for them to come back when their truck pulls away.   

"We've been doing this for over two and a half years," Martha told BuzzFeed. "Over time, it's just really become a caring, close friendship with these guys."
