I love fixing stuff
Whenever my daughter asked if I could fix one of her toys I'd always say "I can fix anything".

One day my girl turned up at the front door with a friend clutching a broken doll. "Can you fix this please daddy?". I could have, but I was busy and just one my way out, so I gave it a quick look and said "sorry no, it can't be fixed" and headed off.

It wasn't til I was a mile away that I replayed the incident in my head and saw the look of disappointment on the girls faces, particularly my daughter's. I was no longer the 'dad who could fix anything' and never would be again..... :(

Thank you for your timely warning
I will avoid your mistake. My 2 girls still think I have the best singing voice, the best jokes, etc.

But i actually am the best dancer

PS Awww....you must have felt awful!

I felt bleedin' awful. If I’d stopped for a couple of minutes I could have hung on as invincible god like character for a bit longer.

A friend of the family was Mr Fixit Dad...
...but was eventually stymied by his 3-year old daughter coming up and saying "Daddy mend it!" while holding out a burst balloon.

Get the doll
Fix it, then admit you were wrong. Face saved, daughter happy.
