Which Reminds Me

Yes, oh, Sorry! I am suddenly reminded that when I was eight years old, the year that we were living in Mexico, there was a time when Judy Thomson and her older sister Debbie were at our house, and we, my sister and I, were playing the board game Sorry, and I lost, and I had a temper tantrum, and I threw a yellow game piece on the floor and it broke, and so forever after there was always a broken game piece in our Sorry set. Sorry about that. I do not remember whether I apologized in the correct way at the time. Possibly not. I forget. And then later I forget, but of course the broken Sorry piece is always there to remind me of my bad attitude and how I must not do that again. And if I pray the sinner's prayer, why is it that the yellow game piece is always going to be broken anyway? Why would I think that nothing happened? Weird how I never hear the end of that.
