It does not take long for apologies to roll out. The parent tries to explain, blames the early sunshine and a brain still warming up for the day. None of it lands. The teenager hears “excuses” and nothing else. He wants a simple oops and maybe decides today is the day for a silent treatment, so the car ride to school is shorter on words and longer on side-eye.

It is just another weird glitch in the long line of family mornings. One person tries to explain, the other just wants honesty served plain, no details needed. Both wake up wishing the clocks would play nice and the routines would work like they always do. Chances are, tomorrow they will laugh about it or forget it ever happened.

Every family has these little moments where being tired and human feels like a crime. Sometimes it really is just about owning it, shrugging, and hoping next time the sun and the clock agree.
