The words we use and say have meaning and have impact.  It's my opinion that the younger the person is the more likely an impact.  We don't always mean negative intent by what we say.  It's not up to us to determine the impact of our words on another.  So, be careful, pay attention and most importantly, be kind:

I'm still reading the same books.  Though I have some updates.  Last week didn't allow for time, free time, personal time, "me" time to get this done.  So, it's here now.  It's here today.  I apologize.  I wish I had gotten this out.  This is a pleasure, not a pain.  It's just a time thing.
