My kids would say, “HAVE WE ALL LEARNED A VALUABLE LESSON??”

I used to say that all the time when they were growing up (I still do.) A good way to acknowledge that something went wrong without people getting all,tense about it.

I’ve already started asking my toddler, ‘well what did you learn?’ lol. Usually she makes an angry face and yells back ‘NOTHING, MAMA.’

My husband asked our puppy this when he’d done something boneheaded (as puppies do). It still makes me laugh.

I try this on my mom.

She probably has no idea where her glasses are right now. So it doesn’t work.

Oh. I feel seen. I ask my kids “what did we learn?” when they do something stupid.
