Like. It’s my 14 year old’s favorite word. It grates on me like fingernails on a chalkboard. Like a fork scraped on an empty plate. Like Fran Drescher’s voice.

It also makes her sound like an idiot. Seriously, it’s every other word for her.

So, a new law has been passed. She gets five “like’s” a night (for this week; next week it goes to three) and once they’re used up, telephone time goes bye bye. Once phone time is gone, if she continues… well, we’ll get creative.

Do you have a word that just comes out without you realizing it? I use “good one” and “nice” too often. I’m trying to curb that.
