We're not crying, you're crying. OK, we are crying just a little — after seeing Duff Goldman's Instagram post that shows just how inspiring a role model can be to a kid with big dreams.

"Walked into @duffscakemix and got handed this," the baker captioned an Instagram photo, which showed a note on lined paper in a child's handwriting. It read, "Duff, thank you for making baking cool for boys. Caleb. 5."

And to those who'd say that boys or girls should be funneled into particular roles deemed appropriate for their gender? Pshaw. Anyone can do anything with hard work and inspiration (plus patience, luck, timing, perhaps a bit of seed money...).

"Thanks Caleb!" Goldman concluded in his caption. "Baking is cool for literally EVERYBODY!"

Commenters, of course, agreed.

“You are an inspiration to so many of us! Keep being you."

"So sweet — you’re a great role model for boys and girls.”

That made me get a tear in my eye! Lovely!"

Indeed, Duff. And we’ll see you in the kitchen, Caleb!
