"Like..."

How is it that less than a month ago I sent my little girl off to school and already 90% of her sentences start with "Like..."? On the way out to skating on Monday I was asking her about school & her answers went something like this...
  • Like we coloured a turkey
  • Like, I put feathers on my turkey
  • Like...I sat with Cariss and Sewdy
  • Like...I rode the bikes at recess
Do you know what the result is of your child speaking like this? You start speaking like this & don't even realize it! UGH!

Her two other favourite words are "actually" and "anyway". Whenever I hear her say, "Anyway Mommy" I stop short. Especially when Mommy is often shortened to "mom" these days. Where is the little girl going??? sniff sniff
