Just the same with my daughter.
Her abilty to remember things to the nth degree, is just amazing. Her abilty to mimic the voice as well is also amazing.
Maybe she could be a comedian mimer as she gets older.
We are working hard on getting her to use her normal voice. When she goes into a mimicked voice, we just say to her "normal voice please". It works for about 5 minutes, then she is back into her talk.

A funny story about her.
She is very much into Queen and Freddie Mercury. She watches the video of greatest hits obsesively.
On eday on our way to Whitby for holiday, we had the Queen greatest hits CD on.
She said "I love Freddie Mercury and would love to marry him".

To which my older duaghter who is 12 said "But Freddie woudn't marry you because he is gay".

She replied instantly "Was he born on a Sunday then"

My wife and I looked at each other, and it suddenly dawned on us what she was on about.

Mondays child is fair of face,
Tuesdays child is full of grace,
Wednesdays child is full of woe,
Thursdays child has far to go,
Fridays child is loving and giving,
Saturdays child works hard for his living,
And the child that is born on the Sabbath day
Is bonny and blithe, and good and "gay".

We coudn't stop laughing.

She is watching Dick and Dom on tele at the moment.
She just said to my wife.

"what is long for Dick"

wife "Richard"

"No, Dick with something on the end of it" she started to get upset.

We can't stop laughing.
