Sorry...

"Ouch, don't be so clumsy, you hit Mommy."
"Ups."
"Ups? Did you do wrong things?"
"Yes, Mommy."
"If you do wrong, what should you do?"
"....."
"Hello, if you do wrong, what should you do?"
"Uhm...apologize, Mommy."
"So?"
"...."
"Yes?"
"I'm sorry, Mommy."
"Ok, good."


"Ups, sorry, Mommy didn't see you behind that Mommy stepped on your feet. Did it hurt?"
"No, Mommy."
"Sorry, Bunny."
"Mommy..."
"Yes?"
"Don't say sorry."
"Why? Mommy step on you."
"That's ok. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. Never mind. No need to say sorry."

We teach kids about apologizing, then about forgiving. That's a good lesson. But kids are even wiser, they don't sweat over small stuff. And... they forgive by heart...
