Childhood.

When I was small, I remember that had broken something of Courtney's,
or had done something without thinking that effected her negatively in some way, and I remember that I had done this a few times before.


I felt truly sorry for doing whatever I had done to the point of tears.

But of course, ten-year-old Courtney lost her patience at this over committed felony and angerly said to me:

" Do you know what 'I'm sorry' means?! It means that you'll never do it again!"



And since then I've never bothered to look up what 'I'm sorry' actually means.
