Oh, My God!

So that's Isaiah's latest expression, unfortunately. He is the ultimate imitator. I feel like Josh and I are really good about watching our language but this particular expression must cross our lips more often than I realized. It doesn't really bother me all that much, but it reminds me of my mom getting on my case for "taking the Lord's name in vain" when I was a child. I think her nagging never really stuck as I knew she wasn't much of a believer so it was just out of concern for others that she was reprimanding me-- hardly something to motivate a 7-year old but something I do care about now. But will I be able to look myself in the mirror if I take the obvious step of saying "golly" and "gosh" and "oh, my goodness!" instead?
