I was putting my 4 year old to bed a couple of weeks back...
Just to annoy me and to avoid bed for a further few minutes, he started to repeat everything that I said. Rather than rise to the bait, i took the moral high ground and stopped speaking as I tucked him in, picked up his teddy etc.

As he'd done this repeating thing a few times in the days before I decided I'd teach him a little lesson and beat him at his own game. So after about 30 seconds of silence when he said 'dad, can I have your phone?', I repeated 'dad, can i have your phone?'. He said something else. Again, I repeated it. He started to get annoyed realising what was happening. Inwardly I was smiling, I had him on the ropes and he couldn't break the cycle. Then he paused and our conversation concluded as such

Him:- Dad?
Me:- Dad?
Him:- Stop saying what I'm saying
Me:- Stop saying what I'm saying
Him:- Fuck.

Little shit.

My boy does this too, however he's learned to stop it when I say "Infinite loop", because I have more patience than he has. Thank god for ADHD.
