Man's Response To 'What Is The Most A Dollar Has Gotten You?' Brings On The Happy Tears

August 8, 2023

What is the most a dollar has ever gotten you?

That was the question posed on a Reddit forum which garnered more than 8,000 responses.

However, this response won the day:

"A wife, three beautiful children and frankly my life as I know it..."

He went into more detail here:

"Back in Jr. High, I liked a girl and flirted with her quite a bit.

One time, during a band trip, we stopped at a gas station and she bought me a pack of gum. I tried to pay her back $1 but she refused.

So, I slipped the $1 in her pocket. She then slipped the dollar in my backpack and so began the back and forth with the $1 bill. We found silly ways to give it back and forth. I mailed it to her house. She stuffed it in a gum wrapper and offered me a piece.

I then decided that I would ask her out on this $1. I wrote, 'Will you go out with me' on it and put it in a note and gave it to her. She said yes (of course, it would be a terrible story otherwise, I suppose).

About four years later, I still had the same dollar kept away. On our anniversary, I wrote 'Will you marry me' on the bottom of the dollar.

We have been married for 15 years and have three awesome kids.

We still have that dollar stored away."

"And now I'm crying, thanks," one user commented.

"You win all the internet points today," another user wrote.

"Could be the basis for a cute movie script."
