215-word Apology - "Sorry I Called You Phat and Didn't Clarify"

When we were all gathered around the doughnuts after the ridiculously long sensitivity training how could anyone expect conversation to stay on the up-and-up for long? I didn't, and quite frankly we should be proud to have lasted three minutes before going juvenile.

Richard made an odd comment about Todd's skin jeans that could have been construed as homophobic, sexist, or innocent. Then it was on. Everyone was in stitches about how sensitive everyone else seemed to be about even the most banal things. I was laughing along. You showed up at exactly the wrong time and I apologize for choosing you as the subject of my comparison when you didn't know the context of the conversation.

I said, "Take Sandy, here. She's phat and I think you'd all agree."

You ran off crying before I could explain that was phat with a 'ph' not an 'f'. Everyone understood what I meant besides you.

I hear you are now filing a restraining order? That seems a tad extreme, don't you think? Is it because when I confronted you about this the first time I used words like dope ("that's dope") and you misunderstood that too?

Honestly, the only thing woth apologizing about is you apologizing for being slang-illiterate. But sorry anyway.
