history: Yesterday was my brother's birthday and I forgot to call him. I always call him on his birthday and we go to lunch. I feel so bad. I usually take my brother to lunch for his birthday_comma_ but not this year. His birthday was yesterday. Why weren't you able to do it? I forgot about his birthday. I didn't even call him! Oh man that sucks_comma_ do you feel bad about it?
current: Yes. Horrible!
next: I'm sure if you apologize he'll understand at least a little. Were you just really busy or something?
