A dad has been branded a 'legend' for his brilliant reply to his daughter's request to buy her some sanitary pads.
Twitter user Niamh posted a screenshot to social media of the message exchange with her dad, which has now had 6,500 retweets and 31,000 likes.
Stuck in work and with no chance to pop to out before Sunday closing times, she text her dad to say: "Can you get me some pads with wings before the shops close?"
Her dad replied in the shop with a photo of purple and green packaging, and the innocent question 'blackcurrant or lime?'
People loved his hilarious response and other users praised him, with one saying: "Dads like this are the best dads".
With others saying it was 'strange' that she had asked her dad to get female hygiene products, Niamh came back the perfect response.
"For all the people getting wound up about asking my own DAD for pads. 1) He’s only ever lived with females: my sister, my mum, his sister, his mum.
"2) I was in work until 5, shops close at 4 on a SUNDAY. I don’t drive, neither does my mum. 3) It’s 2019 not 1969."
Comments flooded in to support Niamh and her hero dad.
"The people posting negative comments need to pull their heads in," said one. "I have three daughters aged seven , five and 20 months. No doubt I'll be in a shop picking up pads one day! Your dad sounds like a legend."
It's not the first time a man has made the mistake, after a woman named Borgan Paget posted about the same experience in August .
When she asked her boyfriend Lewis to nip to the shop and pick her up a box of tampons, he became overwhelmed by the choice on offer and messaged her to ask "Do you want the lemon or the lime?"
Turns out it's an easy mistake to make.
