What do you do when you happen to be part of the Night’s Watch and it’s your kid’s birthday? You get everyone else to wish him happy birthday, of course. True Game of Thrones fans might say that Night’s Watch members don’t have any children, and they’d be right — but this particular feat isn’t actually related to the movie.
