I agree Chris. I believe a more proper mode of expressing repentance is to say: "I was wrong, please forgive me." We should never say: "I didn't really mean it." We did mean it, that's what makes it so wicked.

We actually train our children, after discipline, to say: "I was wrong for {disobeying, fussing, hitting, ...} please forgive me."

I also believe we should train ourselves to say "I forgive you" instead of saying "That's OK" when someone repents to us.
