Zoë and Josephine were building a fort around our dining room table and climbing in and out from underneath. I was out of sight, washing dishes or some other fun task.
I heard a pretty loud "bonk" and Josephine immediately said, "Sorree."
Zoë responded, "That's okay, you didn't make me hit the table. I did it myself." There was a brief pause and then she said, "I mean, I should probably say sorry to myself...
Sorry self. I didn't mean to hurt you."
There was so much sincerity in her voice and it was such a simple apology. It made my heart burn and I realized I need to say those very words to myself much more often.
