Thank you! I had some of the same concerns with Tina’s post. I think that it’s freeing to admit when you don’t know something. That doesn’t haven’t to equate to giving up or shutting down.

I like that you’ve injected “fun” into the conversation. Mistakes can definitely be fun–even when they’re painful.

Yes, I’m a firm believer that mistakes are wise-making. And very charismatic, too: someone who admits they got the wrong end of the stick and says “I’m sorry, I got it wrong, now I’ll try to get it right” is much more engaging than someone who pretends to have the answer for everything. (This is why I party disagreed with this recent post over at Think Simple Now. We shouldn’t be afraid of clearly admitting our shortcomings – right before we tackle them).

We’re all klutzes in our own ways. That’s how we grow and have fun.

@Sara: Freakin’ brilliant.
