child's apology letter

As any parent can tell you, that whole "love means never having to say you're sorry" thing doesn't necessarily apply to kids. Chalk it up to still-developing impulse control or a not-yet-firm grasp on socially acceptable behavior, but most little ones seem to find themselves doing a lot of apologizing (to siblings and teachers, in particular). 

An unexpectedly hilarious perk of the ongoing remorse of childhood (at least for parents)? The apology letter, of course! Typically fraught with spelling errors and often scrawled in crayon, these priceless notes can provide laughs for years to come -- especially when they're of the not-so-sincere variety.

Check out our gallery and you won't be sorry!

What would you say if your kid handed over #8?

Whoa, this is heavy. Sorry ... because of nothing. I sense a future philosophy major.

The thing is, this girl clearly loves her mother enough to sacrifice some of her best stickers (hearts! flowers!) on her apology, so we believe the child when she says she's sorry for calling mom a "pice of poo" (as vicious an insult though it may be).

Sounds like Santa dodged a bullet. (And way to throw Kieran under the bus, other sibling.)

Not only is this kid sorry for smacking Camron in the "privets," he's SO sorry. As well he should be!

This brilliant child has already figured out that people are way more likely to accept an apology when money is involved.

The sarcasm is strong with this one. How does one "kick" with a feather, exactly? And it would seem as though the author has not forgiven the recipient of this letter for being a "crying little devil." Somebody's getting "kicked" again, methinks.

Um, this one doesn't strike us as all that sincere. Wonder why ...

All I have to say about this one is, Chris better watch his back.

Now this is a kid who takes eco-consciousness very, very seriously.

In the end, it's not about the karate-chopping of the privates, it's about realizing you were wrong. Right?
