A story has been shared in which a car owner replied, "If a child did it, it's all right," to a note left by the parents of a child who caused a "door ding" while opening a car door.
On September 30, a post titled "Everything is Forgiven for a Child's Door Ding Accident" was uploaded to an online community, spreading warmth and touching many readers. According to the post, the author discovered that their child had opened a car door and made contact with a neighboring parked vehicle. Unable to find the car owner's contact information, they left a note instead.
The author wrote on an A4 sheet, "My child scratched your car while opening the door. I am very sorry. Since there was no contact information on your vehicle, I am leaving my phone number," and placed it on the car's windshield.
Afterward, the car owner read the note and sent a message to the author, saying, "If a child did it, it's okay. Have a nice day." Wanting to express their gratitude, the author tried to call the car owner but the call was not answered. Later, the author received a text from the car owner that read, "This is the car owner. It's really fine. If a child did it, everything is forgiven."
