I think it's funny how MANY little tricks, behaviors, sayings, beliefs, and attitudes kids these days have are the same ones my friends and I had when we were kids. For example, kids still say in that same mocking tone, "You can't catch me!"
They also like to copy their friends, siblings, classmates, etc. One day, I was doing something with little Samantha at the preschool last week, and I started humming. A few seconds later, she was doing something nearby and started humming too. I had never heard her hum before. lol Chameleon effect, anyone? Learned about that in my Social Psychology textbook. Cute.
Another time, I wiped my mouth with my napkin during luch time, and one of the girls said, "Look, Miss -----. I'm copying you!" and she wiped her mouth with her napkin. Or maybe she said, "I copy you!" I can't remember.
I think I've said this before, but I'd better be careful about what I do in front of the kids.
