It's so important to laugh at our faults, shortcomings and silly mistakes with our children. It will help us keep a sense of humor about the ironies of life and help our spirited boys see that the goal is to be human, not perfect.
One of the phrases we have adopted as a great catch-all sentiment when one of us makes a mistake or is the key player in a mishap goes like this, "Oh, I'm just a cotton-headed-ninni-muggins ". Or, it can be an indictment, "I guess you're just a cotton-headed-ninni-muggins". I love how this diffuses the moment of mistake realization. It generally reduces us all to laughter and then we let it go. We took this from the movie Elf.
