Specially as "copying" stuff is a very bad habit. It takes a lot of resources.
An old and tired-looking dog wandered into my yard. I examined the dog's collar and felt his well-fed belly and knew he had a home.
The dog follows me into the house, goes down the hall, jumps on the couch, gets comfortable and falls asleep. I'm thinking it's rather odd, but I let him sleep. After about an hour the dog wakes up, walks to the door and I let him out. The dog wags his tail and leaves.
The following day, the dog returns and scratches at the door. I open it, the dog enters, proceeds down the hallway and jumps onto the couch. It settles in, and once again drifts into a peaceful slumber. I allow the dog to rest. Approximately an hour later, the dog wakes, heads towards the door, and I let it out. With a wagging tail, he departs.
This goes on for days. I am growing really curious, so I pin a note on the dog's collar: "Your dog has been taking a nap at my house every day this week."
The next day the dog arrives with a different note pinned to his collar: "He lives in a home with four children - he's trying to catch up on his sleep. Can I come with him tomorrow?'

My dog is not allowed on the couch, but he's got a bed on each wing of the house... and he's the only one that uses the ottoman facing the TV... he likes TV...

My son was a DJ in college. Him and his buddy had their own 2 hour show, three times a week, around noon. They used to "broadcast" a stream on the University's web pages. So, I'd turn on the main rig and we'd listen.
One Sunday, it was his mom's birthday.... I reminded him... so at noon, him, his friend and whoever was around sang "happy birthday" to my wife and played the "Happy Birthday" song. After that he played some stuff my wife likes....
He made a point of giving me a heads up so my wife was around to hear it...
"Surprise!"
It was nice.
