As I was leaving my mother-in-law’s house, I stepped on the gas a little harder than necessary to come out of my fancy three-point-turn and Katelyn gasped and then giggled. At the next corner, the road curves slightly and the cars that are coming around the corner are hard to see behind the parked cars. I was about to make my left turn when a car pops out from behind the blind curve so I slam on my breaks and Katelyn gasps and then giggles again.
Katelyn: I think maybe you need driving lessons!
Me (laughing): YOU need driving lessons.
Katelyn: I can’t have driving lessons. I’m just a kid! See? Look at my legs!
I look back at her sitting in her booster seat and she swings her legs, showing me that they don’t even touch the floor yet.
Me: You’re right. You are still too little.
Katelyn: And my voice is… uh… funny.
Me (laughing): I think you have the cutest voice ever.
Katelyn: It sounds funny. I want to sound like you.
Me: Oh, don’t worry. You will when you are all grown up.
Katelyn: And I want my hair to be like yours, and my lipstick, too.
I will never have a bigger fan than Katelyn.

Oh that Katelyn! She's such a personality!
Unfortunately, I've heard that passes after a few years, so you have to enjoy it while it lasts.
Also, whether she likes it or not, she will end up just like you, but you have to wait out a rough decade or so where she seeks to somehow be everything you're not, all at once.
You can REALLY piss her off by telling her you already tried that at her age, so she is actually continuing to be just like you. Save that one for when she's extremely bad.
