I just put this on SorryWatch’s Facebook page, which is what we generally do with items we find interesting but don’t have a lot to pontificate about….but you know what, we’re in need of a good apology right now and this fits the bill.
From Happy Place (where there are more details): 
Let’s see. Ownership of the offense, indication of understanding of why the offense required an apology, expression of genuine remorse, attempt at renumeration. There is no explicit promise not to commit the offense again, but I think we can agree it is implied. Also, since I assume that even the most contrite child required a bit of adult noodging to put pen to paper, hello, good parenting.
This one gets an “Awwww.”
Apologies hereabouts have been more hysterical of late, sans bracelets — the nephew threw a rock in the general direction of his brother (“I didn’t MEAN TO! I didn’t MEAN TO! I’ll never do it AGAIN!!!!”) — and somehow, little brother’s head got in the way. Gushes of gore (don’t head wounds add drama?). Shrieking. Sobbing. My very smart mother made the teachable moment big brother cleaning little brother’s bloody face… as he wept. And little brother kept saying (through sniffles) “It’s okay.” Poor buggers. But really, what IS IT with the rocks and little kids this summer!?
