apology

I was just handed a letter of apology from an unruly student. I visited with her dad last night about her attitude over the last few months. He was ‘awarded’ custody recently as mom was not doing a good job.

She handed me this letter as a kind gesture. I assumed it was ………………….. until………………….I opened it and read it.

I noticed something above each word. Upon further investigation…. I realized that they were numbers that had been erased. Apparently dad gave her a word limit.. such as 100 word apology, so she counted her words to ensure the appropriate length…………….Nothing like a back-handed compliment. Guess it’s better than nothing.
