The agony of misplacing a phone

At dinner, Zibbi suddenly put her head in her hand and exclaimed, "Oh no!" She was then momentarily distracted from her thought as she noticed green marker on her hand.  She continued to tell us that she'd forgotten the car phone in the van (a toy phone that had the Cars movie characters on it, just to clarify.)  She finished this pronouncement with a "Bammit".  Her first time trying out this word.  She didn't really know what it meant, but was stunned when the entire table burst into laughter at her obvious turmoil.  She might be watching too many shows with Ben and I that are giving her a whole new vocabulary.  I didn't want to reveal to her that this was a "bad word", because then I knew she'd pull that out whenever there was tense moment.  (Right now her knowledge of bad words includes "shut up" and "stupid" and "dumb".  She makes sure to point them out when she hears them in a movie or on television.)
