Nice story I wanted to share, seen on https://old.reddit.com/r/CasualConversation/comments/1i092q3/my_dad_accidentally_became_famous_in_our/

My dad is super quiet. He doesn’t like talking to people, skips parties, and just wants to read books by himself. So I was pretty shocked when I found out he’s kinda famous now.

A few months ago, he built a birdhouse in our yard. Then he made another. And another. Now, our yard looks like a little bird village with tiny houses everywhere.

People around here started noticing and coming by to check it out. One day, someone knocked on the door and asked if they could take a picture of the birdhouses.

My dad said sure, and now people stop by all the time to take pictures and say how cool his yard is. It’s crazy!
