I read an apology letter
Handwritten on wrinkled paper
One sentence with many misspellings
Given to my son by another first grader
It said "I'm sorry for saying that your dad looks weird"
I guess most dads don't have long hair or unkept beards
I wasn't sure what to say, without the time to rehearse
So I told him to forgive him because I've been called worse
I've been called worse
I've been called worse
I've heard every word in the universe
I've been called worse
I've been called worse. "Weird" doesn't phase me, because I've been called worse
It started a week before
When I walked in the school door
To be the class volunteer
Help kids improve their math scores
It went as expected until the following week
When some kid told my son that I look like a freak
Then he took exception, told his teacher at school
Who later reached out to reassure me I'm cool. I told her I've been called worse
