According to reports, the fourth grader saved up his pocket money so that he could buy each and every girl in his grade a silk rose. He doesn’t want anyone to feel down and out on the holiday, so remedied it by ensuring everyone had a little something.
Apparently, he’s been doing this for the past four years (we know, what a young Casanova), having worked in his grandma’s flower shop to earn funds. When she passed away, he started washing cars instead.
Proud mom
All told, Callum purchased a whopping 68 roses for his schoolmates, and his mom couldn’t be any prouder.
“He’s been doing it for four years,” she said, as per British newspaper Metro.
“He started out with just his class but now he gives roses to every girl in his year – he says that no girl should be left out.
“He’s also saved up and got a present for his girlfriend.
“This year is a bit different. He normally helped his grandmother in the flower shop to earn the money but she died last year – this year he has decided to wash cars.
“He has washed about ten cars and has a couple more booked in. He was outside from 9.30am until 4.30pm and even then I had to drag him in as it was getting dark.
“I’m really proud of him. He hates the attention from the girls. Last year when he gave them the roses they all started screaming and piled on him.”
Callum himself says his girlfriend knows what he does, but she’s fine with it as it’s helping others.
What an inspiring little boy with a big heart full of love!
