Rachel started saying what sounded like a very rude "WHAT?" a couple of weeks ago when she couldn't hear or understand what I was saying. It sounded unpleasant to my ears so I am teaching her to say "excuse me?" instead. (Along with the usual "may I please have..." and "thank you." She's quite good about the "thank you" but needs to work on the "may I please" instead of "I want...").
It makes me realize how much I say "WHAT?" instead of "excuse me." So, looks like I need to change my bad habits, too!
She really impressed me tonight when she said at one point, "excuse me?" instead of "what?" I could tell she was almost going to say "what?" but then thought better of it.
