Too many, 🟰 nothing

What is a word you feel that too many people use?

Sorry.

I asked him, do you know what it means to be sorry? He replied “you need to say it when you’re in trouble.” “Why, why are you in trouble?”

“I don’t know, you said my full name and had an upward inflection on the last word in a sarcastic tone, so I figured it was the time to say sorry. Right?”

My mouth was a flytrap, I wanted to find the person who taught him this way of living and give them a proper what fore.

It was then I heard someone call my name from the top of the stairs, barefoot holding their size 11.5 foot show the steady stream of blood that was now dripping onto my newly waxed floor.

Oh shit I forgot! I was so blown away at my son’s response to my calling his name warning him of the glass I had broken in the bathroom and to put on his shoes to walk about until I got it cleaned up. I forgot to warn his father of the shards on the tile floor. It was six am and time for his morning shower. That of course he did without putting his shoes on.

A couple of apologies I owe. “Son, I’m sorry I’m such a nagging bitch that your knee jerk reaction to my voice is to say sorry, I will do better.”

My son’s stepdad “ sorry for the glass in your foot, you really shouldn’t walk around barefoot. It’s. Dangerous, you could get hurt. Do you need stitches?”

“I’m sorry, what did you say?”

I have a feeling sorry isn’t going to take a rest around here anytime soon. Sorry for that.
