['My daughter called and said she had bad news for me which made me apprehensive. She apparently scratched the car.', 'oh no. How bad was it?', 'It was a big scratch but easily fixed with a pain job. She got me anxious over such a nothing thing, though.']
I can see how it would make you anxious.
When my daughter told me she had news for me over the phone, her tone made me so apprehensive. Turns out, she just wanted to tell me she scratched the car.
