a "cream-filled" donut tweet

Billy By's dad owns a donut shop in Missouri City, Texas, where he bakes donuts fresh every morning. But one day recently his dad felt sad. His parking lot was empty, and he had no customers. Billy saw how depressed it dad was, so he snapped some photos of the empty shop and parking lot, and shared them on Twitter.

The boy's tweet generated more than 254,000 likes and 147,000 retweets. Some responded to the message, calling on others to come to the store. Soon the store was crowded with customers buying donuts, and before closing time they were all sold. The same thing happened the next day, all thanks to a son who cared enough to tweet.
