it doesn't sound very respectful. i should probably come up with a less sacrilegious thing to say to express my feelings. maybe i should hearken back to the 50s and say 'gee whiz.'
and celeste - i can't say that, that's your phrase! (although i find myself saying it more and more. but then, when i catch myself doing it, i smile and say 'oh heaven's, sir, please!')
it's from when celeste and i were in chicago and some guy walked into the street without looking and she was scared she'd hit him, even though she was nowhere near him and driving slowly
Somehow I don't see "golly gee willikers" really conveying what she meant to though (no offense;). I think a simple "Wow!" would also work, even if it is less old-fashioned and therefore less fun. ;)

You could always try "oh, heavens!"

What's this 'Oh heavens, sir, please!" comment from?

that is a good one, linda. and linda - hi! :)
and wow is far from fun.
:P yes, but for what you were trying to say, it makes more sense then 'golly gee willikers' :P
He wasn't "nowhere near" us. He walked out right in front of us, and had I slammed on the brakes, we would have been rear-ended.
