I don't know. I guess it's just a matter of perspective. Most things (for us) just aren't that serious. We joke about just about everything. If she forgets to fix the bed, I'll say "see? That's why your nappy head kids don't fix their beds.". We'll laugh and end up fixing the bed together. Or, other things that would land some in the "dog house", we find an opportunity (most times) to make it funny. Life has enough serious issues on its own. We don't need to add to it.
