Event - It was my stepfather's birthday and I didn't really like him much. But my mom had an attack if I didn't get him something or treat him nice. So his birthday rolls around and I forgot to get him anything. On the way to the house for his party, I heard on the radio there was a big earthquake in China a couple days before, and they were asking for donations to send. So at the party, I told him that I made a donation to the charity in his name : )
Apology - I don't apologize to my stepfather or mother. I shouldn't have to get a gift for someone I don't like. But I apologize to the people in China for using them in my lie.
