Me: Do you want to go to medical school and become a doctor?
Devyn: Yes.
Molly: Me, too! Me, too! Me, me, me!
Me: There's a medical school very close to us. You could go there.
Molly: Yes, Mummy. Me, Mummy. Me, me, me!
Devyn: Yes, I want to go to medical school but I don't want Molly to copy me.
Me: Well, both of you could be doctors working in separate fields. You might have different specialties or sub-subspecialties. You could be a neurosurgeon and Molly could research neuroplasticity. You could be a family doctor and Molly could be a gerontologist. You could both be doctors without being the same kind of doctor.
Devyn: I know, but I just don't want Molly to copy me.
