gosh vs. goodness

We've tried to have our kids say oh my goodness instead of oh my gosh.  It's not that gosh is a bad word.....but sometimes when said too fast....it can be mistaken for another word (you know what I mean :)

Yesterday, while driving in the car, Lily began to yell out "Oh my gosh." because of something she saw.  She stopped herself before she finished the word completely.  She then turned to the window and quietly said to herself,
 "I wish I wasn't a Foley, so I could say the word gosh."
