Being humble is one thing, hurting someone by accident is different.
Do not think about it and move on. Dwelling on such minnor issues will hurt you as a fighter, you will learn to focus on the person for the wrong reason and end up yourself the one hurt.
IF anything is to be said to the parents, it is the place of the sensei to do it
