My neighbor's little kid (maybe 5 or 6) came to the gate this afternoon with a broken plastic robot. One leg had snapped off and he looked ready to cry.

I didn't have glue or tools, just random junk in a drawer, so I grabbed a paperclip and some tape and tried to make it stand again. It looked stupid but somehow worked the robot could walk in a wobbly way.

He tested it, stared for a sec, then gave me this huge grin and ran off yelling "it’s fixed!" to his mom.

I just stood there laughing, with tape stuck to my fingers, realizing how something that took me two minutes meant the world to him.

I don't know, it was nothing really, but it kind of made me feel good in a way I didn't expect :)
