@Sixthformpoet had a story that went viral on Twitter, and it's no wonder. It has a bit of something for everyone. Definitely still a better love story than Twilight. It's gritty and adorable and outright ridiculous. A solid rollercoaster.

    Text - sixthformpoet @sixthformpoet ONE My dad died. Classic start to a funny story. He was buried in a small village in Sussex. I was really close to my dad so I visited his grave a lot. I still do. [DON'T WORRY, IT GETS FUNNIER.] 11:52 · 09/06/2019 · Twitter for iPhone 175K Retweets 392K Likes

    Text - sixthformpoet @sixthformpoet - 20h Replying to @sixthformpoet I always took flowers and my mum visited a lot and she always took flowers and my grandparents were still alive then and they always took flowers. My dad's grave frequently resembled a solid third place at the Chelsea Flower Show. 25 27 2,179 35K sixthformpoet @sixthformpoet 20h Nice but I felt bad for the guy buried next to my dad. He NEVER had flowers. Died on Christmas Day aged 37, no one left him flowers and now there's a p

    Text - sixthformpoet @sixthformpoet 20h I did this for quite some time, but I never mentioned it to anyone. It was a little private joke with myself, I was making the world a better place one bunch of flowers at a time. I know it sounds weird but I came to think of him as a friend. O 13 272,020 O 36.2K sixthformpoet @sixthformpoet · 20h I wondered if there was a hidden connection between us, something secretly drawing me to him. Maybe we went to the same school, played for the same football club

    Text - sixthformpoet @sixthformpoet 20h THAT was why no one ever left him flowers. No one except me, of course. I left him flowers. I left him flowers every couple of weeks. Every couple of weeks FOR TWO AND A HALF YEARS. 13 272,208 O 43K sixthformpoet @sixthformpoet - 20h I felt terrible for his wife and her parents. Now, I wasn't going to leave them flowers every couple of weeks for two and a half years but I did feel like I owed them some sort of apology. 271,974 O 33.9K sixthformpoet @sixthf

    Text - sixthformpoet @sixthformpoet 20h I explained and she said ok that's weird but quite sweet. I said thanks, yes it is a bit weird and oh god I ASKED HER OUT FOR A DRINK. Incredibly, she said yes. Two years later she said yes again when I asked her to marry me because that is how I met my wife. [END] Q 4,039 17 16.7K 310K

    Text - sixthformpoet @sixthformpoet TWO We had two children and last year they said they wanted to go to Disneyland. We saved up and booked it but rather than say sure you want to go to Disneyland let's go to Disneyland, we decided to make them earn it. I told them they needed to raise £3,000. 11:56 09/06/2019 · Twitter for iPhone 12.5K Retweets 34.3K Likes

    Text - Every time they did something good, I'd add £10. Every time they were naughty, l'd take £10 away. £3,000 and we'd go to Disneyland IMMEDIATELY so if they did ten good things a day without being naughty they could go in a month. Easy. 4 27 154 O 4,353 sixthformpoet @sixthformpoet 1d Suddenly they were PERFECT children. I'd get home from work and they'd be all how was your day, can we take your coat? l'd say this is nice oh right wait I get it, sure add ten pounds and they'd say ten pounds

    Text - Walking home it became clear my children had never seen a homeless person before. They wanted to know why he had so much stuff. I said he was living there and they said but what about his house and where does he wash and WHAT ABOUT HIS JOB? Q2 27 135 ♡ 4,043 sixthformpoet @sixthformpoet 1d I tried to explain homelessness and they were like if he doesn't have any money, you should just give him some. CHRIST. I said money doesn't grow on trees and all| the spare cash *we* have is taking us

But they were adamant. 27142 O 4,587 sixthformpoet @sixthformpoet 1d I went back and told him the story and said look I can't cancel Disneyland and I don't have another three grand lying around but we can pay for you to stay in a hostel for a bit.
