They’re monologuing internally like Dexter about what an oblivious fool they’re making you look like. They know exactly what they’re fucking doing.
Absolutely, and they’re very aware of shit adults think goes right over their head. I know that I did know and pretended I didn’t.
Intonation. “Say” is used as a prompt to setup the word to mimic and the word to mimic is overemphasized and repeated. We’ve got built in mirror neurons that absorb this shit like a sponge.
I think you nailed it

When my youngest was about 3, I told him to behave one day, and he screeched back “I AM being have!”
Don’t leave us hanging. Who won the argument?
A three year old always wins the argument lol
Do you pronounce behave as “be have”?
Is this a British thing or something?I think the kid mispronounced “have” to rhyme with “knave,” or “grave,” or “cave,” or “Dave,” or “rave,” or “crave,” or y’know like “behave.”
Why so creepily smooth…

Not all of them do. I work with autistic kids, and sometimes we have to modify how we teach echoics (repeating what someone else said) because of it.
We may have a kid that we’re trying to teach to ask for help when they need it. So say, for example, we see them unable to open their lunch box. For some kids, we’d go, “Say, ‘help’.” The kid replies, “Help,” and we help them open the box.
But some kids will repeat exactly what we say, which means they end up going, “Say help.” So we have to change the way we make the suggestion. In this case we’d omit the “say” part, and just say “Help.” That way the kid will repeat just the important part, enabling them to communicate more functionally to get their needs met.
Why AI
Simpler phonetics. Children learn languages at different rates because some languages are literally harder to learn, as a result of more or less distinct phonetics and grammar.
