Was walking through my mom's house to borrow my dad's drill when I saw my 11yo niece watching me with an odd expression.

"You wanna help me build the catio?"

Her eyes lit up, then she looked disappointed. "But I'm a girl..."

I rolled my eyes. "Do I look like I care?"

That must have been the right response because she jumped up and chattered excitedly as I showed her how to use a tape measure, a drill, etc. We spent all day building and she had a brilliant smile the whole time. After the tenth declaration of this being the best day in her life, I said,

"Gotta love that sweet sweet serotonin!"

She immediately started giggling, "What does that meeeeaan??"

Anyway, she had an amazing time building with me and acted like I had given her a solstice gift when I said she could paint it and that I'd take her to the hardware store to pick out hardware. She's never been to a hardware store before and I love being the weird knowledgeable uncle who has weird pets always keeps fruit and pistachios in the house.

Update: While I was at the store I found a 53 piece around the house tool kit in bright purple, so of course I bought it for her. Her face when I gave it to her was priceless and she actually gasped. She's going to "make all the stuff"

Are we going to talk about the “but I’m a girl.”? Where did she get that? Did someone teach her that? Who is it? I’m ready to kill for that cutie.

[thededfa]

She learned it from her dead father

[exactly-myself]

I'm just gonna assume you killed him for his blatant sexism

I was across state lines and in the presence of three witnesses at the time of his death. I have receipts timestamped. My alibi is solid.
