WASHINGTON – A Prince William County teen was asked to take down a tweet this week, detailing his plan to ask someone to prom. The twist is that his desired date was a friend’s mom. Patriot High School student Anthony Pinnisi texted his friend, asking how many re-tweets he would need in order to take her mother to his school’s prom, the Daily Mail reports. His friend said it would take 500,000 re-tweets, and Pinnisi accepted the challenge. He tweeted a screenshot of his conversation with his friend earlier this week and nabbed 80,000 re-tweets within 24 hours, according to the Daily Mail. But Pinnisi’s campaign came to a halt when a school official supposedly asked him to take the tweet down on Thursday.
