Briana's Instructions


Briana’s Instructions: How to apologize to your Mother
By: Briana Rorex
  • Step 1: Admit to what you have done wrong.
    • For example: You could say, “ Mom, I know what I was doing ________ is wrong, but......”
  • Step 2: Explain to her the reason why you did what you’ve done. If you don’t have an explanation, just try to find yourself to be sympathetic!
    • Example #1: Say, “...but I was I thought that if I told you, you would go crazy on me!”
    • Example #2: Say, “....but....I don’t know...I just felt bad about how I would make you feel if I told you the truth.”
  • Step 3: If she doesn’t buy your explanation, just try your best to suck up and start crying.
    • For example: You could say, “PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE Mommy I am SO, SO, SO, SO SORRY!”

       Conclusion: If that doesn’t work, well you are out of luck!

  1. Briana,

    You sound like a pro at apologizing to your mom. Hmm, I wonder why...

    Does saying "I know I was wrong, but..." ever work? It's never worked for me. It's like apologizing without really apologizing. "I'm sorry I socked you in the face, but you were looking at me funny." That's not really an apology is it?

    Suggestion #3 is shameful! I hope you've never stooped to that level!
