When Sarah uses words and phrases that are oddly familiar, I know she's my daughter. Once in a while, i see signs of Cathy in her too.
For instance, on the floor around her bed (also known as the living room floor -- she says she'll sleep in her bunk bed when her room is finalized from the paint job), she has little stacks of books, categorized by series. These stacks are carefully and neatly squared off and parallel to the wall. On top of each one is a little sheet from a memo pad on which she has written the series title for the books.
It's true that I have kept lists of things like that over the years as well, but Sarah wasn't around in the heyday of my organizing, so I can only conclude that she's being her mother's daughter when she does this. God, I love this kid.
