Whole World In His Head

Bear with me, please.

Oliver’s going to hate that I posted this, but I can’t help it. You already know I’m an insufferably proud dad, but this really blew a new part in my hair.

As I understand it, during some downtime during an extracurricular period, Oliver took it upon himself to draw the world map FROM MEMORY. We all have our own thing. When I was his age, it was comic books and punk rock. For whatever inexplicable reason, Oliver latched on to vexillology, geography and world history. You could put a gun to my head and ask me to replicate the correct placement (let alone accurate shapes) of each nation, and I’d have to take the bullet.

I am routinely amazed by my boy, but this is just some next level stuff.
