Chalmers was so moved she says she wanted to laugh and cry at the same time.
These are kids I thought were going to do something to my house and they've just come up, and the wee guy saying 'love you' at the end.
Chalmers posted the video asking if anyone knew the children when one of them replied saying “that’s me and my pals”.
Other comments on the video said that Erin owed them a little something, and she asked them to come around so she could pay them.
And one of them actually messaged me back and said it's not about the money, we just want to make people smile.
Not only have the boys made an international impact, but their parents couldn’t be prouder.
Their mothers said they were overwhelmed by the response.

Here is what some of the moms had to say:
Collette (Liam’s mom): “Liam feels like a superstar, he genuinely does. He's just a good boy with a big energy, I'm so proud of him. It’s such a positive thing that they've done."
Stephanie (Dylan’s mom): “I can't believe it. We were walking to school and one of the parents said, 'there he is, the wee celebrity'. Dylan thinks he's a superstar. It's nice to see the comments everybody has written about them.
Diane (Jack’s mom): “I watched it and I was blown away, it was just so cute. I phoned him and asked if he knew he was on TikTok and he said he did. They just went to a random door and chapped it."
Kerry (Cameron’s mom): “He's just excited, as a wee boy would be. It's lovely, we've had so many kind messages."
Hannah (Ollie’s mom): "It's gone absolutely nuts. When I saw it, my wee heart melted. I'm absolutely proud of them."
