Teen takes great-grandma to prom
An Indiana teenager took his great-grandmother to prom

CROTHERSVILLE, IN (KTRK) -- A high school junior in Indiana took his 93-year-old great-grandmother to prom.

The teen decided he wasn't going to prom because he didn't have a date. But his great grandmother told him she had a dress and she could go with him.

Her great grandson agreed and asked her out.

Katie Keith, Drew Holm's great-grandmother recalled, "He said, will you go to prom with me?' I said, 'Well Drew, my goodness.'"

Drew said, "She was like, 'Go find someone prettier. I don't want to go to the prom with you. Surely you can find a real cute girl to go with you.' I was like, 'Nah, I can't do that, you're the prettiest woman'."

The two ended up dancing the night away.

Drew said he would ask his great grandma to his senior prom next year, but his great-grandma says one prom is enough for her.
