merkeling

Jumping up to play the righteous moral hero, but actually just really screwing things up.
Angie saw two hungry wolves enter a chicken coop and proceeded to kill the cute hens and chicks. "I'll save you!" she said, as she threw a hand grenade at the wolves. Mommy told Angie to stop merkeling, and come back inside before she could do any damage.

Angie and her family got lost in the big city. A poor homeless man approached her and asked her for money. Angie imagined herself to be a wise, heroic princess, giving away her kingdom's riches to make things great. While her mom was arguing with her dad about whose fault it was for getting lost, Angie took mom's purse and gave it to the homeless man. The man promptly thanked Angie and then ran off. Mom and dad yelled at Angie, "your merkeling fantasies really screwed things up for us this time!"
