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.
