Three words have always gotten me out of trouble over the decades. Just three magical words.
I fucked up.
Think about it, no matter what jackpot one found oneself, when someone in a superior position of power, be it a supervisor, manager, jurist, superior officer is getting ready to read one the riot act and one admits to fucking up freely, the wind vanishes from their sails.
Because most of the incipient tirade is designed to get one to admit to that which one just admitted to freely. That leads to the most common response, "Just don't do that again!".
Had one lead complain to my training officer at a job I was new in, in an environment I'd never functioned in before, "He keeps making mistakes!".
The training officer patiently replied, "Yes, he does, but he never makes the same mistake twice, he makes new mistakes and that shows he's learning fast".
And to make new mistakes means, one's learning and more importantly, one is still trying to accomplish something.
