I've developed a bad habit. I thought I only did it around Maddie and Justin. I was wrong.
And someone at work caught me. Then, he called me out on it.
"Um, Chelsea- did you, um, did you just say 'dude'?"
Crap. I'm a 30 year old valley girl. Righteous.
I don't know when it started, but I use that stupid word all day long. Maddie shows me something new- "Cool, dude." I can't convince Maddie that I'm right, and she's wrong- "Whatever, dude." Maddie yells at me, while sitting on the potty, that she is going poo poo- "Do your thang, dude."
Tonight, I said it to an adult. He asked for me to help him- "Sure thing, dude." I. Must. Be. Stopped.
Or, should I?
Maybe I should embrace my inner valley girl. It sounds, like, totally gnarly, dude. I could, like, you know, say whatever, sounds awesomely cool.
Cowabunga. Dude.

All great twosomes say dude, dude.
Beavis and Butthead.
Bill and Ted.
You're in good company.
I say it, too.
Even less flattering when you're 43.
I with ya, dude.
I can't for the life of me kick the d-word.

LIKE I TOTALLY agree. LIKE everyone thinks it's so RAD when I talk all VALLEY and TOTALLY, GAG ME WITH A SPOON delicious. Let's cruise on over to the SAN FERNANDO VALLEY and what's SHAKIN'.
that is so funny. it's addictive. I went through a 'dude' phase. you have to be careful. I started b/c I was making fun of people. and then I actually started saying it ALL the time...
what can I say? it just rolls off the tongue dude
i'm so sure (here my valley accent?) like...gag me with a spoon...gah!
like...dude, you're like sooo bitchen!

Could be worse...I can think of many other words you could use that are bad for Maddie to pick up, so dude, your just keepin it clean, dude.
I love reading your posts. I am giggling away on the couch as Jim is sound asleep on my shoulder. There must be something in our water...I said "Dude" to Jim the other night, and he almost fell on the floor laughing. I don't think I've ever used "dude" before!
Dude, we always say dude.
Dude, seriously. I do. It's a bad habit.
At least you aren't saying Dudette. Then you would have cause to be ashamed :-)
I have a guy friend who calls me 'dude'. It is both funny and annoying. Do you read the blog "The Dooce"? Go and read the origin of her name....you'll feel much better!
