The following story happened within the past year, but we forgot to write it down.
Daddy's glasses case was broken for years, before Dylan was born. The locking mechanism no longer worked, though Daddy continued to use the case intermittently. One day, Dylan asked permission to repair the case. Daddy explained it was irreparable. Dylan insisted. Daddy relented. In just a few seconds, Dylan fixed the case. It was broken not at the lock, but at the hinges, which threw the lock out of alignment. Dylan recognised the problem, and he shifted the hinges in order to align the lock.
For years, Daddy had written the case off as irreparable. In less than a minute, Dylan fixed it. He is very mechanically inclined, in Daddy's view.
