On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous / int_675ff0f1	comment	Apologises a Lot: Played With. Little Dog describes how the nail salon workers say "sorry" more than any other word, and how this rubbed off on him too. Throughout the novel, he says sorry for things that are clearly not his fault and/or don't require an apology.

Although they both know they are likely not really related, he has a decent relationship with his "grandson" Little Dog anyway.
