I'm Too Old to Sound This Young

Words I really need to work on omitting from my vocabulary, or at least begin using correctly:

Dude-As in, "Dude, that is crazy"

Like-As in, "And I'm like, that is not cool"

All-As in, "He's all grumpy now"

Lies!

they can make you get older don't let them drag you into growing up

Growing up is over rated too just like maturity. I should try to teach my daughter good gramar though.

::Sigh:: Being a Mom means I have to be all responsible and junk. WTF?

When your kids bring the words home from school, you can start using them without guilt.

Especially effective if you want the kids to *stop* using those words.

I say "like" way too much, too. I only say dude in context however. For example, I don't in the middle of a meeting say "Whoa, dude. That proposal is totally unacceptable." But, I will say at a Grateful Dead concert "Dude, that show was awesome."

Roses: Good point perhaps my bad gramar will make my daughter want to speak properly.

Arwen:I hear ya. I'm carefull to speak professionally at work but somehow my friendly conversations devolve in to 1980's Valley Girl speak.....& I'm not from the valley.
