The first time my toddler (now 26) broke a toy, he showed it to his mom, heartbroken. “I think it just needs a screw in it. Daddy can fix it when he gets home.” When I got hope, Caleb showed it to me and told me “Mommy says it needs a screw in it.” That’s what it needed, and he watched intently as I used a little screw to hold the wheel on. From then on, Daddy fixed EVERYTHING by putting a screw in it, including, oddly, his nose.

Dad must have learned something from reading all those patents.

As long as you don’t ask him HOW he fixed it, it’ll be fine.

At this point I would expect Calvin to mess with it before the glue finishes drying.

Remember this the next time you take a Dad poll, Calvin.

From a day or two or so ago, some other commenter asked the location of the super glue. It’s right here, pal, in Dad’s hands

Just wait until Dad has to fix it again.

I love how they like to tease the dad, I guess he doesn’t usually do much fix-it work around the house (other than his bicycle).

Dad, let Calvin be proud of you for a change!

That is the same thing that Tim Taylor of Home Improvement hears in his house a lot.

Dads don’t get any respect in that household.

Don’t know that ridiculing success is quite the proper reaction.

Are we sure Dad didn’t superglue his fingers to the battery case?

He’s also fixed it so that he doesn’t father any more kids.

Never knew Dad was such a handyman. And apparently, it surprised Mom.

I’m so glad he fixed it! Poor little kid. He should’ve let his daddy put it together to begin with.

My Dad could fix anything (usually). Until Learned to fix things myself, “Daddy fix” was my favorite expression, thanks Dad.
Dragongourd Premium Member over 5 years ago
Um….shouldn’t he have put it in the hat before he glued it?

Don’t speak too soon Calvin. You need to wait and see if he glued the motor shaft to the housing first.
davetb1956 over 5 years ago
And I thought Dad would be more worried now that Mom knew he could fix something he would have a honey to do list.
