Apology Letters to Son.
Causing Toilet Trouble and Apologizing to You

I’m really sorry for the whole toilet disaster the other day. I can’t believe I left you to deal with the aftermath—literally—of my clogged toilet fiasco. The fact that you had to clean it up, got toilet water in your mouth, and even ended up with a little “souvenir” on your face is beyond awful. You didn’t deserve any of that, and I hate that I put you through it. I take full responsibility for not handling it myself, and for making you the unwilling hero of that gross situation. It was completely on me to fix it, and I failed you there. I understand if you’re grossed out or even a little mad, and honestly, I don’t blame you. To make sure this never happens again, I’m going to learn how to unclog a toilet properly (without creating a biohazard), and I’ll keep a plunger handy so I’m ready next time. Also, I’ll be the one to deal with any future plumbing emergencies—no more passing the buck. If you want to talk about it, or just need a break from my plumbing skills, I’m here. And if you want me to bring you a new toothbrush or some mouthwash, just say the word. Thanks for being a champ through that mess—I owe you big time.
