I'm glad that you apologized to the Canadian. I'm proud of you, Bones!
I didn't apologize.
I thought --
The word apology derives from the ancient Greek apologia, which means a speech in defense. When I defended what I said to him you told me that wasn't a real apology.
Why don't you think of a word that means you feel bad for making someone else feel bad.
Contrite! From the Latin contritus, meaning crushed by a sense of sin.
There it is! Contrite! I'm happy that you contrited to the Canadian.
Right. Would you like to hear some more things that I feel contrite about?
There's more?
Yes. I feel contrite that I think your socks are silly.
What?!
Also, I am contrite in the way that I think you are foolhardy in the way that you approach a cup of coffee.
How do I approach a cup of coffee?
You drink it without checking the temperature and then you complain all day that your tongue is burnt! I feel contrite that I think that's stupid.
Let's recap: foolhardy and stupid.
There's more.
Bones, you don't have to apologize for things that you think.
Oh!
Believe me, if we had to feel sorry for every single thought...
Like what?
Oh, believe me, I'm not going to fall down that path.
