I'm like a grandma...

Inasmuch as I heard myself say "Oh Dear" the other day.
Not in an ironic way.
My natural reaction to a non-calamitous but troublesome development was "Oh Dear."
When did I become a guy who says "Oh Dear."
Is this the gateway drug for other Grandma sayings?
Will I begin saying "Good heavens" referring to young people as sweetie as I pinch their cheeks and offer them flapjacks as they sit-a-spell, their fannies squeaking on my plastic encased-vaguely gross smelling davenport!
Perhaps I should make old friends (not lifelong...actual old people.)
Oh dear.
