This 11-year-old downloaded the Washington Post app, and now everyone is bawling

11-year-old Katie Reddy has been an avid-reader of the Washington Post for years.

The young girl downloaded the app without her mum's permission when she was nine, and has been hooked ever since. 

In fact, her dream is to be a journalist and work for, yes you guessed it, the Washington Post. 

When Liam Stack, Katie's mum's cousin, heard this he couldn't help but share it on Twitter because, well, it's the coolest thing ever.

"Today I learned that my cousin’s 11-year-old daughter somehow downloaded the Washington Post app — without my cousin’s knowledge — at the age of 9 and has been a loyal reader for the last two years," the New York Times journalist wrote. 

The Washington Post subsequently spotted the tweet and invited the young girl to spend a day with them. 

They then shared a couple of photos of her day out, and it's clear that Katie had a great time.

And a quick look through Twitter shows that we're not the only ones who think it's the sweetest thing ever!
