"If you don't have a verified account on Twitter, don't feel too bad: neither do Jack Dorsey's parents.\nThe Twitter co-founder's parents Tim and Marcia Dorsey tweeted this week that they would like to be verified on the service. We're not sure why they didn't go to Jack directly.\n\nTwitter I'm not @verified....Should I be?\n\u2014 Marcia Dorsey (@marciadorsey) April 9, 2013\n\n\n@verified you should verify me I'm jack's dad.\n\u2014 Tim Dorsey (@Tim535353) April 9, 2013\n\nWe reached out to Jack's father for comment and to Twitter for confirmation about the authenticity of these accounts, but did not immediately hear back. However, Jack does follow both accounts and has retweeted at least one post mentioning him and his father by their Twitter handles, suggesting that these are the real deal. \n\nThe #Rams are proud to present jerseys to @jack and his father, @tim535353, a big #Rams fan and STH! twitter.com/STLouisRams/st\u2026\n\u2014 St. Louis Rams (@STLouisRams) April 6, 2013\n\nSeveral Twitter users have started to weigh in on Mr. and Mrs. Dorsey's requests to be verified, including the mayor of St. Louis \u2014 where they live \u2014 who happens to be a verified user himself.\n\n@jack Success has a thousand fathers. Very confusing. That's a good reason to @verify the real @tim535353. #fgs\n\u2014 MayorSlay.com (@MayorSlay) April 9, 2013\n\n\ntime to get @tim535353 and @marciadorsey @verified! After all they are the GRANDPARENTS OF TWITTER. bit.ly/10JYikW CC: @jack\n\u2014 Sam Levin (@SamTLevin) April 9, 2013\n\n\n..Not sure why @jacks's parents@tim535353 @marciadorsey don't have the #bluecheckswag by being @verified but they are NO doubt his parents\n\u2014 heykim (@heykim) April 9, 2013\n\nDo you think Twitter should grant their request to be verified?
