As I watched my 4-year-old, Lily, stacking her colorful blocks, I suddenly heard her mutter, “Oh, for goodness’ sake,” as they toppled over like a row of dominoes. I felt a wave of shock and asked her, “Where did you hear that?”
“Not from school,” she replied confidently. “Not from friends, the playground, or even from Daddy.” Then she added, “I heard it from you.”
Caught off guard, I knew I had to address this. I gently explained that such phrases aren’t appropriate and that I need to work on my language too. “Okay, Mommy,” she nodded, seemingly understanding. “But can I still say ‘oh, for goodness’ sake’?”
