Four-year-old's love letter to his classmate is the most romantic thing ever

This is hands-down the sweetest love letter we've ever read. Written by four-year-old Bennet to classmate Baily, we really admire his direct approach to romance.

Plus, robots! Who could resist?

The letter has attracted a lot of attention online after being posted to Reddit last week.

The full letter reads:

"Baily,

Will you please come to my house? Let’s play together. I think you are pretty like a horse or a ladybug. I’m not sure which. You should come to my house and eat cheeses with me. I love you and I lost a tooth last night. I think I would like to do a magic trick for you and then let you watch me battle robots.

Love,

Bennet"

Amazing.

Bennet's mum Jennifer Skinner explained to Buzzfeed that she was the one who typed the letter but it was all dictated by Bennet:

"I asked him who he wanted to send a letter to and he stated, “Baily of course”. So, he sat down next to me on the couch and dictated the letter and I typed word for word what he said."

Jennifer also said that the positive online reaction to Bennet's letter has been a welcome distraction as the family deal with Bennet's health issues.

"I have to say that the attention the letter has received has put a smile on my face, as Bennet was a very sick kid. He was diagnosed with cancer at 6 months old and actually goes up for one of his last cancer checks in Portland, Oregon very soon. I’m always nervous about these checks and this has been a nice distraction."
