The Forgivability Scale is a 32-foot-long quilt that depicts a double-sided arrow running between “Unforgivable” at one end and “Easily Atoned” at the other.

The scale is used in association with Say You’re Sorry. Call Your Mom created a corresponding question for each new performance or workshop to prompt participants to add their experiences to the scale.
