What do you do when you accidentally step on your loved one’s foot, or mistakenly elbow your loved one in the dark?
Thank you ☺

December 5, 2017 11:40 pm at 11:40 pm #1420721LightbriteParticipantWhat about if it’s a child?
Or a dog? When I accidentally elbowed my dog in the face earlier this evening, I found him in the dark with my cell phone light, walked up to him, grabbed his face in between my hands, and gave him kisses where I think I elbowed him, all the while saying, “I’m sorry I’m sorry.”
If someone just looked at the moment in isolation, without seeing that it was unintentional on my part, I must have looked like a creepy abuser for a moment… but maybe my mom dd the same when I was young, and that was okay and appreciated… so I started this thread to see how others respond.
… it may be different for someone you love and/or is family because you wouldn’t necessarily be giving a stranger’s kid (or dog) a kiss in the same spot (if you do so at all), in such a case.
… anyway, just wondering what the options are here to express an apology and concern for the person hurt in thus scenario…
