Laughter is not failure...

After a long day of study, work, etc... there was a great deal of frivolity at the dinner table. My husband began to shake his head at my daughters' not so mild manners. With a grin on his face he interjected that it was the way that I had raised them, that I had failed. Know that he was fishing for a fight, I replied, "Laughter is not failure!" To which my youngest quickly added, "It is a success that could have been!" After roars of laughter died down, we decided that there is a bit of insight. What do you think?
