Throwing a party that people don't show up to is pretty upsetting -- but based on the response the little boy below received after his story was shared on the internet, it won't be happening two years in a row.

On Sunday, Ayen Alambat tweeted photos from her little brother Aaron's birthday party.

"My brother invited 8 of his classmates for his Stranger Things themed bday party & none of their punk selves showed up," she wrote.

At the time of writing, that tweet has been shared around 37,000 times.

People quickly began sharing messages of support for Aaron.

And many of them said they'd have been happy to come along.

The icing on the cake? A couple of days after Alambat's original tweet was posted, the word got back to Millie Bobby Brown herself.

Birthday. Made.
