It Was Hard You Know
Every sentence I uttered in seventh grade ended
with you know...
I think her ponytail is weird, you know?
They are going out, you know.
My dog is a doof, you know?
I think I will watch TV, you know?
After I noticed it I tried to stop it
But it was hard, you know?
It had turned into my most annoying habit, you know?
So I decided to let it die a natural death,
And you know what?
It eventually stopped.
A year or two later.
It did not help that I ran with
Two others who ended each
Sentence with you know also.
I now have a good friend who inserts
‘No offense’ in every sentence, so I always say
I am not offended but she does not seem to
Realize about this habit yet.
I think that is probably the
First step, you know?
