Do I really say that?

This morning, driving into the city to work, we got to a train crossing just as the boom-gates started to lower. I went into my usual pantomime about the excitement of a train coming. Ah, being the mother of a little boy ;).

Then, as the train came into sight Jamie says:
"Oh goog-ness. A dain!"

Oh Goog-ness?

Where did he get that from?
Me?
Do I say that?
I suspect I do.

About five minutes further down the road, I hear him "reading" to himself in the back seat:
"Oh goog-ness, what's dat?"

Oh Goog-ness.
It's today's word.

And I really, really am starting to sound like my grandmother...

Isn't it funny how they make you realise all the little things you say!

Oh that is so cute! There's nothing quite like your kids bringing your own quirks to the fore.

My #2 son used to say "Meck me, tar!" (excuse me, car) to the cars stopped in front of us at the lights. We still say it today.
