What do you do when you find yourself on a flight with your three-year-old on Halloween night? One dad took it upon himself to bring the festive spirit on board, and now he’s the internet’s favorite hero.
During a flight from Boston to San Francisco, a woman named Lisa Harper received a note along with some candy from a fellow passenger. Touched by this creative idea, she decided to share it on social media. As of last night around 10 PM ET, her tweet has been shared nearly 60,000 times! “OMG, my heart is bursting! Dad of the year just handed out candy to everyone on the flight so his little one could trick-or-treat,” she exclaimed.
The adorable girl was dressed as a donut, and you bet everyone was eager to take part in this sweet act. When a three-year-old says “trick-or-treat,” you simply have to oblige!
The note that the dad shared read, “My 3-year-old daughter, Lily, is sad she’s missing trick-or-treating this year because of our flight. So, I thought I’d bring the fun to her! If you’re willing, please drop a treat in her bucket when my little donut comes down the aisle. You’ll make her Halloween! If not, no worries, just pass the candy back to me. Thanks!”
Translation: If you don’t want to spread some joy to a small child, then you don’t deserve my candy, Mr. Grinch! Here’s a glimpse of little Lily making her way through the aisle:
This heartwarming gesture is spreading smiles all around, offering a delightful diversion on an otherwise mundane flight. With the tweet going viral, little Lily is sure to have some fantastic stories to reminisce about when she’s older—especially when her teenage years come around and she’s embarrassed by everything her dad does!
