If you’ve been looking for a genuinely heart-warming story today, you’ve found one, friend. Seven-year-old Curtis Rogers is the gem we all need right now.
When his nanny’s prom was canceled, Curtis came up with a pretty amazing idea: he wanted to host a prom for her in his own backyard. He even came up with his own version of a “promprosal,” complete with a sign. While his nanny of a year, 19-year-old Rachel Chapman, was participating in a Class of 2020 parade in her neighborhood, Curtis went over to her house. When she came back, she found him in her front yard, holding a sign that read, “Mini Prom isn’t today but will you go on Monday?”
His mom, Elissa, says that he came up with the idea all by himself. “He came up with the slogan. He’s a pretty creative kid and really wanted to make sure everything was perfect.”
And it worked: Curtis told TODAY that “She said yes to our mini prom and she came over two days later.”
