To find this infuriating?!

Since lockdown my 5yo DD has started to put the word "So" at the beginning of EVERY sentence. "So, mummy, I would like cucumber sandwiches for lunch." "So, mummy, I'm just going to the toilet." She was trying to search on Google for a Princess Jasmine crown and all the time she was typing, scrolling, clicking in sites all I had was "So. So... So.... So"

Where on earth has she got this from?!

It's currently being filed under the phrases/terms that infuriate/sick of hearing:

"Bless"
"Awww"
"Living my best life"
"You got this"
and the slightly more topical:
"Guided by the science"
"Stay at home, Protect the NHS, Save lives"
"I don't think it's appropriate to discuss lifting lockdown measures at this stage"

Why does she keep doing it? Nobody says it at home. Everytime she says it it makes me flinch!!!!

YouTube? A kids programme?

My DS has all sorts of mad phrases lately. I'm putting it down to the children watching more (mostly American) films, tv and YouTube than usual at the moment. X

She's not a massive YouTuber, and even if she does its Fun Family 3,and they are English (?) but has been watching quite a lot of Disney. I don't know whether being stuck in the house 24hrs a day is just highlighting it and she's been saying it for ages, but ive just never picked up on it before 🤷‍♀️

I've noticed this on TV lately and I find it really irritating.
I don't understand it at all!!!
