The clip shows Anthony looking dapper in a navy suit as he waits patiently outside his classmate Lila’s house with her gifts in his hand. 

‘May I see Lila?’ he politely asks the man who answers the door. 

When Lila comes to see him, he hands her a bouquet of flowers, a heart-shaped box of chocolates, and a rainbow stuffed animal. 

‘Happy Valentine’s,’ he says. 

When Lila comes to the door to see him, he handed her all of her Valentine's Day gifts

‘Those parents better like each other cuz I think they’re going to be in-laws,’ someone else joked. 

Small replied to the commenter, saying she has known Lila’s parents since high school, and they live just three houses apart.   

‘There’s some GROWN men that need to take notes from this lil guy,’ one woman noted, while another commented: ‘It really starts with the parents… they don’t make them like this no more! Good job young man.’

However, the proud mom insisted that Lila’s surprise was entirely her son’s idea. She said she told him to ‘pick out a nice shirt and he came up with this.’
