The original poster (OP) introduced a playful, secret code phrase with their niece to gently mock the sister's repet*tive saying, finding the resulting situation adorable and harmless.
This action directly conflicted with the sister and brother-in-law's expectation that the OP would respect their parenting authority and avoid teaching their four-year-old potentially strange or disruptive phrases.
