>Any undue interest in or physical contact with children will set off alarms. If you do not want your reader to think he is reading about a pedophile, dandling of children on knees should be kept to a minimum by fathers, and even more so by uncles. If your character is in any way associated with organized religion, whether he is a bishop, a minister, or the kindly old church caretaker with a twinkle in his eye, he should not even pull a child from a burning building.

You should pin the idea and leave it in the “misc” pile you moron. Like homie above said, why would you betray readers? Does the ends justify the means? It sounds very autistic to be like “oh btw he’s actually half retarded” making his character less than WHAT YOU INFORMED US FOR HIM TO BE. If you really want to incorporate the idea, let his dumbass nephew be the sidekick self insert for the dweeb readers like it was his nephew’s will for certain aspects of the outcome while still being a blockhead which is the fool’s righteousness in a way or near perfection trope.
