A Twitter user who couldn't arrange a proper birthday party for his son due to the coronavirus lockdown, did something unusual. Children look forward to birthdays every year and it is quite saddening when we cannot live upto their expectations. Hence, Jody Smith, NFL correspondent for the sports news website Fantasy Pros, took to Twitter on Saturday posting a photo of his son Brand holding the outline of the world map. He tweeted, "This is my son, Brandon. Today is his 12th Birthday. I can’t give him the party he deserves but Brandon loves geography. He would love it if you would RT or reply where you are so he can mark it on his map." And the kind Twitterati across the world not only flooded the comments section with birthday wishes to Brandon but also send their locations. Quarantine Haircut Fails Are Hilarious AF! Netizens Trend #CoronaCut on Twitter By Sharing Worst Haircut Pics and They Will Make You Laugh Out Loud.
We are sure Brandon got quite excited about seeing the people who wish from across countries. He filled the map with dots showing the places from where people around the world wished him. Brandon received wishes from Saudi Arabia, India, Nepal, the United Kingdom, the US, Africa, Germany and many other countries.
That's Birthday Boy, Brandon!
