Fisherisms

It has been brought to my attention by loved ones that there are phrases that I over use. I am assuming that it is even probably annoying. The funny thing is that I honestly don't even realize that I say them.

• Jack has started saying "Really Ryan? Really?" or different variations of "Really?" When I said to my mother, I don't know where he get's it, she laughed and pointed at me.
• A co-worker gave me a compliment and poked fun at me by saying they "We in awe of my teaching and the fabulous use of "Kay?" Again as innocent as a newborn I said "Really? Do I say it that often." Her response was giggles.
• My good friend Megan has reminded me several times that I say "Dude" enough that people may think I am part surfer.
• If something is funny my token come back is "That's hilarious."
• I know I have said um, uh , ah, enough that a principal wrote it in an observation.

All of this has made me aware that I may not be communicating as a professional or even an intelligent human being. =) I guess I need to be more aware of the words that come out of my mouth.
