The trouble with trouble

I was doing chores around the house and Maya was playing in her room. As I passed by, I heard her talking to Tinkerbell. From the tone of her voice, it sounded like Tinkerbell was in big trouble. So I paused and listened:

Maya: “Sit. Right. There.”

(Did I tell you she kinda talks like William Shatner?)

Tinkerbell: “- - - “
(Tinkerbell doesn't talk, you know that.)

Maya: “Don’t. Do. That. Okay, Tinkerbell?”

Tinkerbell: “- - - “

Maya: “Do you understand? Sit. Right. There.”

Tinkerbell: “- - -“

I stood there blinking. This sounded very familiar.
Then it dawned on me. She's imitating her mother.
