I'm sorry you had to suffer at the hands of an older sister, too. Let me just apologize for the behavior of all the big sisters of the world. ;-) Thanks for your blogment...always a delight!Randomocityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11871574168607613060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-435639598621055127.post-88102514453396181022016-02-22T10:19:32.801-06:002016-02-22T10:19:32.801-06:00Thank you for your insightful comment.

So...Okay, my emotions were a waveform reading this. Some parts were so funny and honest and others sad and thoughtful. As the "Danny" to my big sister you should know those second sibs can be pretty forgiving folks. You made me laugh remembering my sister and those "forced apologies" and in hindsight, I just knew that back then she didn't want a younger sister ad had I been in her shoes, I'm sure I would have ruled her with an iron fist.<br /><br />Anyway, I much enjoyed this beautiful, wry, transparent piece.

So weird what we do to each other as children. As adults too, although actual biting isn't usually involved. An ex used to apologize to me by saying, "I'm sorry for whatever you think I did," which was pretty much just his way of saying he wasn't sorry at all, and I was crazy, but could we have sex anyway? Oh dear, can I say that here? So yes, we have to own it or it isn't an apology at all. Well said, Denise.<br />Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14831958648236444729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-435639598621055127.post-25443571072850622292016-02-09T01:07:51.682-06:002016-02-09T01:07:51.682-06:00I appreciate this meditation.

I like the strategy you developed with your students, though, as you note, it gets more complicated as grownups, learning to apologize for the right things. You've hit some powerful notes here.childofaslanhttp://pushingthebruise.comnoreply@blogger.com
