I have a tendency to say "Phew" whenever I see someone remove their shoes and/or socks. Kids usually love it when I do that. So this weekend, when in tight quarters with two little girls, I said "Phew" quite often. Now the youngest one will say it too. My daughter-in-law took me aside to tell me that in Japan taking off shoes is a mandatory thing in every home. She also told me that not everyone will be amused when a charming two year old girl says "Phew!" Oops. Grandma blundered again. Still, it's kinda funny.
