Sincere apology

Ezra was playing with one of those silicon palm-gripper can-opener thingies today. You know, the type of thing that is sold in a "kitchen items" store to dupe people into thinking that using the shirt tail is ineffectual (it isn't, just twist harder!). Anyway, Ezra was employing the item in various ways and eventually came to use #67, the silicon palm-gripper can-opener weapon.

My mother reports that he smacked her with it. "Ow, Ezra!" she said. "You may not use it that way."

"Oh, Amah, I am sooooo sorry," he crooned, looking concerned. "I didn't mean to hit you. I was trying to hit Isis!"
