Accidents happen. As long as you apologised straight away, there's not really much else you can do about it. Just be more careful next time.

What did the five fingers say to the face?
Slap Bitch!
Shit happens OP

Face palm.. Too

What does op mean?

Sounds like a failure in situational awareness.

Yeah, the kid should have been looking where she was going.

Agreed

Shit like that happens. I hope she wasn't hurt too badly. Either way I would bring them a cake or something as a nice gesture to say welcome to da hood.

That's not what they mean by making a good first impression.

At least your neighbor was able to witness that it was an accident. Apologize and you'll be good.

Hope she was ok!

Any parent who says they've never done something similar is lying, I've accidentally hit my daughter with a fridge door.

My dad was playing horseshoes one day at our house after getting done with some yard work. I was a little kid so of course I didn't think things all the way through. When I went to take him some water, I walked right behind him without him knowing and got hit in the head with a horse shoe.

I'm a teacher and I tend to talk with my hands. One day I got really excited about a novel we were reading and I accidentally clocked a kid in the face with my copy of the book. It was a paperback, though, so it could've been a lot worse. That was an awkward phone call home.

It wasn't intentional OP. I'm sure an apology would suffice.

If the kid's parent was standing there when it happened, they know it was an accident. Don't beat yourself up, crap like that happens. Once when I was a gymnastics coach, I was talking to one student and went to point to something behind me, and totally slapped another kid in the face because I didn't know she was walking by.
