My family don't communicate (messy divorce), so I was excited to have a group. On calls my dad would ask what's going with stuff, to which I'd say 'Dad, you're in the whatsapp group, YOU'RE READING THE MESSAGES!' and he'd say 'Am I?' and I just put it down to him being old

I'm not sure why, when setting up the group, I didn't add 'Dad' and not 'Peter'. But now I feel bad for fake dad Peter and hope he enjoyed reading my mum's messages about how she'd thought Coldplay's album was called 'A Cold Hard Blow To The Head'

This could have carried on for literally years had my sister not asked if I could add dad to the whatsapp group (I guess my dad was too embarrassed to ask me because I'm a snooty tech arse). And it dawned on me that the number of the Peter in the group was not my dad's number

People asking who fake dad Peter is. Turns out fake dad Peter is a plumber who came to repair the washing machine in our flat in December 2013

No, I won't be contacting fake dad Peter because when he came to fix our washing machine he ended up bleaching all of the clothes that were trapped in the drum. But that's a story for another day

Here's fake dad Peter reading my family's messages. Not sure how I didn't notice the builder's logo avatar, which is something my dad definitely wouldn't havepic.twitter.com/kjWbdYoQG2

I guess after a while the moment for fake dad Peter to pipe up to let us know we'd got the wrong Peter had passed so he just accepted his role as our new dad

Questions I've had: Q: Weren't xmas/birthdays odd when 'dad' didn't say anything? A: Not entirely. We call on special days Q: Wasn't it weird when 'dad' never spoke? A: A little, but my dad has never been a chat room person Q: Why did you add 'Peter' and not 'dad'? A: No idea

Q: What happened to fake dad Peter? A: I panicked & he was kicked out of the group Q: Have you been in touch with fake dad Peter? A: No. He really messed up some of our favourite clothes Q: Did you make this up? A: I wish I was imaginative enough to make something this daft up

Reading how happy this dumb event has made people, and how similar things have happened to others has been utterly joyous. Thank you so much. Xx
