Yes, it really is very hard for me to think about how to apologize for something that my mother said, un the presence of two or more persons, some of whom are sort of not that bright, shall we say, when, anyway, you were nowhere in sight and, anyway, nobody was talking about you, and also the original context is completely lost in the shuffle. But if you really must wear the Dunce Cap supplied by them, fine, go ahead and do that. But don't expect me to feel something more about that.
