I missed yesterday’s word “imitate” and today’s word is “scream.”
They say that “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery”*
However, I heard the child in the playground say, “If you imitate me one more time, I will scream!”
YOU ARE STUPID
>you are stupid>
echo

SCREAM
>scream>

This made me smile. I can hear echoes from the past “stop copycatting me”. LOL

Lots of people dislike being imitated. This probably stems from the experiences of childhood, when it was meant to irritate your sister.

Absolutely!! I used to do it. My sister did too, and my grandkids do it. It pushes all kinds of buttons AND snaps! 😀
