My hunches (feel free to make improvements):
What a foolish thing to do! What a foolish thing (you have made)! I can´t believe you did that! I can´t believe that you just said that! I can´t believe that! how could you have said that to him! I can´t believe you did a silly mistake like this! I can´t believe you just said/did that! I don´t believe you (just) did/said that/this... Big mistake, you having said that... Hmm, I am not so sure if you did the right thing by saying this/that... What a slip up! you were wrong on this subject...et cetera.

quotations: Nikki Giovanni: "Mistakes are a fact of life. It is the response to error that counts."
"The man who has never made a fool of himself in love will never be wise in love"
I would say, the man who has never made a fool of himself in learning, never will be wise in learning! let´s not be afraid of making mistakes, but let´s learn from them and with them, wether they are ours or not. |
