Apologies

I didn’t mean to bite my uncle, really. It’s just that I don’t like it when he bops my nose, and I’ve told him this. He still always does it, though. If he’s going to disregard my voice as if I’m some animal he can’t understand, then I thought I should act like one. I bit him. Surely, he would understand that, but clearly I was wrong. I didn’t mean to really hurt him. So, Dad, here is the apology letter you said I had to write.

I am sorry you got hurt, Uncle. I hope my actions have explained what my words never could. Your finger will be safe from my teeth as long as you never try to touch my nose again.
