Apprehensive - viewing the future with anxiety or alarm

"Young Lady you seem a bit apprehensive" The cashier replied, "oh what does that mean?" I inquired, "You don't know what apprehensive means?" "No, is it a bad thing?" I asked her if she was still in school and what grade she was in if she was. She replied, "I'm a junior at Public High School." Well I guess that answers any questions I may have had about putting my children in Government Indoctrination Centers (aka Public School). Maybe they have banned dictionaries at school now along with God. Wow, what great education this young lady is getting from the stolen government funds.
