Funny Excuses for Forgetting an Anniversary
Step one: own it. Step two: plan the recovery. Step three (optional, after the recovery is in motion): a small, well-timed funny excuse.
For entertainment purposes only
Anniversaries are sacred. Don't lead with humor — lead with sincerity. Use these only after you've already apologized and made the recovery plan, as a light addition to lower the temperature.
