Two brothers celebrated their dad’s birthday in a big way and also blew up his phone in the process.
“I think I’ve had 15,000 calls, texts and Facebook hits in the last three days,” Ferry said.
“We thought it was going to be a local joke—people would call,” said his son, who is also named Chris Ferry. “I guess when we put it on social media, that’s when it really started going crazy.”
After sharing it on Facebook, the dad has said that he has received messages from people all around the world, including the Philippines, Kenya and Luxembourg. Some people still call and sing him happy birthday, while others talk about their own fathers.
“I can see my texts go from 10 or 20 to over 600 in a matter of minutes,” said the dad.
When asked about what they will do next year for his birthday, his son responded, “I don’t know, maybe try to get a bigger billboard?”
