My little sister copies me all the time. It's so annoying. How can I make her quit?
Just think: Your sister doesn't imitate Britney Spears or Sarah Michelle Gellar. She wants to be you. Who can blame her? You're allowed to do stuff, like stay up late and date. Any older sibling has probably experienced some of this form of flattery. As you know, nothing you say or do is going to make her cut it out. Don't react to her. If you snap, not only are you being mean, you're encouraging her to keep being Mini You. She's obviously vying for your attention-so give her some. Take her to the movies, shopping, or just talk to her. Acknowledging her existence at the breakfast table might get her to quit mimicking you and instead focus on eating her cereal.
