The wholesome moment a mother interrupts her son at work in the United States has gone viral. 

ABC 6/FOX 28 reporter Myles Harris was standing on the side of the road for a piece to camera when he recognised a passing car.

His mother, Sandi, pulled up to say hi and the exchange was recorded by camera operator DeAngelo Byrd.

Harris: "That's my mom, hold on."

Mom: "Hi baby!"

Harris: "I'm trying to work right now, you're calling my phone. This is DeAngelo, you can say hi."

Mom: "Hi DeAngelo!"

Harris: "And don't be holding up traffic because you got cars behind you".

Mom: "Alright." [blows a kiss and drives off]

Harris: [Turns back to the camera] "Did you record that?!"

The video, which was filmed in Columbus, Ohio, has received thousands of likes and comments since being posted on social media by Harris and the news channel.

It has sparked an almost universal appreciation for Sandi's affectionate display.

"Oh, she's so very proud of you! This makes my day — and I bet it made hers too!" tweeted Abbey Bogost.

"I can just HEAR it in her voice "THAT'S MY SON. THAT'S MY SON REPORTING!!!," tweeted tanguay_AZ.

"As a journalist and a mom, I love this so much! That's what you get for not answering Sandi's calls," tweeted Jennifer Palumbo"
