That's funny. Children are such so little sponges.

Believe it or not, my little Kimmy can be pesky at times. She has the "why?" factor down packed! "Mommy, why did you put the paper over there? Why did you close the door? Why did you ___ "? It gets so nerve wracking that I find myself whispering under my breath, "You are getting on my nerves!" Obviously she has heard me a time or 2. So Nana calls me at work one day and says let me tell you what your baby just said to Kia. (Kia was 7 and Kimmy was 3) "Kia, you're getting on my nerves!" then she stormed off. I was soo embarassed! Nana said she's listening to you Mommy. Absolutely.

She also used to tell me "Leave me alone Mommy" or "Go to your room Mommy". All the things I tell her when she is bothering me and I am busy. She would tell me this when I messed with her when she was playing by herself . You have to laugh at them and keep going. But when she told her Teacher to leave her alone when she was getting reprimanded for not sitting down... We did have a talk after that episode.
