Good Night, Sweet Pea

I was wondering the other day what you could tell about a person by examining the phrase they say the most frequently. I'm sure that during my professional days, this phrase would have been something as uninteresting as "Hello, this is Ruth" as I answered the phone, or embarrassingly enough, perhaps "a tall, decaf, nonfat latte, please." High on my mom's list at one time was, I'm sure, "don't let the cat out." I wish I could say that currently, "I love you" is at the top of the list, but it's probably something more mundane like "good morning, sweet pea" (or realistically "good night, sweet pea," since good night can be said more than once a day depending on how bedtime goes). I'll take it, though.
