When Olivia Kessler from Pickering, Ohio, recently gave birth to a baby girl named Carter, the newborn’s uncle, 18-year old Grant, was obviously excited to meet his new niece. But when he turned up at the hospital in Columbus, he surprised the family by coming dressed in a suit and tie. He even wore a tie clip. Why? Because you only get one chance to make a first impression.

Grant’s sister, 16-year-old Iris, recently tweeted a picture of her dapper brother waiting for the imminent new arrival, and the picture has since gone viral with over 126k shares and more than 420k likes. “My sister is about to have a baby and my brother showed up to the hospital in a suit because “first impressions matter,”” wrote Iris in the tweet, and we totally agree with Grant. Carter might be too young to appreciate his old-school efforts, but we certainly aren’t. Best uncle ever.
