Making Mealtime Meaningful: Discover how we're giving back with the 12T Cares program →

The world is filled with illusions, whether we realize it or not. This woman was left in hysterics after this well-meaning father made a very funny mistake.

@jennirobinson_jr is a TikTok user who is sharing this blunder with the rest of the world and we cannot stop laughing either. Before we continue with this story, we must reiterate that Dad meant well here.

The video has already gotten over 2 million views. “So my dad’s been over to fix something, but he’s only gone and caught my eyelash in a glass thinking it’s a creature,” Jenni shared. What a kindly father. We do not care if he was wrong, this is still one of the sweetest things that we have seen. The glass cup is turned over to catch the critter but really, it is just a fake eyelash.

Dear old Dad had the right idea, at least. He was just trying his best to be a protector. It’s an honest mistake and judging from the comments, it is one that happens fairly often.

“I saw one in the street the other day, and genuinely thought it was a creature,” said one viewer. We can’t lie, they kind of do look like creepy crawlers.

This dad deserves all the credit in the world because he was willing to save his family from this potentially ferocious beast. That does not mean that we would not have been rolling around on the floor laughing, though. These are the types of generational divides that are sure to have many viewers howling with laughter.

In fact, we needed to pause the clip to compose ourselves once we had the chance to see it. Anyone with an older father can certainly relate to this one. They may not know about things like fake eyelashes but they are always going to be there for their families when it matters and that is all that counts.

In his mind, he has saved the day and we hope that no one ruined that moment for him.

If you are anything like us, this story reminds you of the things that our well-meaning grandfathers and fathers do in order to “save the day.” They are superheroes in real life.
