Echolalia


Echolalia: the state in which a person repeats the vocalizations made by someone else.

I've done this since I was a kid with my brother Grant:

GRANT: Stop touching me!

ME: Stop touching me!

GRANT: I mean it, Madison. Leave me alone!

ME: I mean it, Madison. Leave me alone!

GRANT: You're stupid!

ME: You're stupid!

GRANT: You're crazy!

ME: You're crazy!

GRANT: I'm gonna tell!

ME: I'm gonna tell!

GRANT: MAMA!!!

ME: MAMA!!!

  10. Hahaha, brilliant! It's so annoying to do that - which is possibly why I still do it, though it's with my kids, not my siblings. I'm an evil mum. ;p

  11. Hahaha yeah... no body did that with me for too long.

    Me: Stop it.
    Person: Stop it.
    Me: No really.
    Person: No really.
    Me: I'm an asshole.
    Person: ...
    or
    Person: I'm an asshole.
    Me: Yes you are.
    Person:...

    Either way, I win. ^_^
