“It is better to offer no excuse than to offer a bad one.”
~George Washington
We all make mistakes.
It’s human nature to stumble every once in a while.
So when it happens to you, just admit it,
apologize and try to make it right.
After all, it was just a lapse in judgment,
a hick-up, a big oops!
Don’t try to make excuses when
the person affected by your oversight
is glaring at you in disbelief.
They already know what you did wrong;
making an excuse will just delay any chance of clemency.
So jump in, guilt and all, and say,
“I’m sorry”; unless, of course, the dog did it. ♡
