Difficult for me to Stop Saying You Know
when I was ten
one of my annoying habits was to finish all oral sentences
with “you know”
saw a robin today, you know
ate spaghetti for lunch, you know
planted marigolds around the foundation, you know
It became annoying to everyone
including me
I recognized I was saying it
tried to quit
yet finished every sentence with "you know"
for about two years after I recognized how annoying it was
My grandson is ten
he starts every sentence with “actually”
actually, that is the seventh planet
actually, I have a great idea
actually, I know something about that.
He knows something about everything; he is ten.
I figure he will be stuck with”actually” for about two years.
