Smith is a geography enthusiast, so he drew a world map and his dad, Jody Smith, tweeted it out, asking people to reply with where they were in the world. He then marked the map accordingly with everyone’s locations.
Here’s the original tweet:
“This is my son, Brandon,” the elder Smith wrote alongside a photo of the sixth-grader holding up the blank world map. “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.”
“Star Wars” star Mark Hamill replied to the tweet, sending “greetings from Malibu, California”:
On April 13, Brandon’s dad shared the latest update of his map, noting that he “added some good ones today”:
The bottom image here is what the map looked like on April 14. We hope these updates keep on coming!
The birthday boy also told the news outlet that he’s “very excited” by the huge number of responses he’s received.
How cool! We’re so glad this enterprising young man found a clever way to celebrate his birthday!
