      My own girl-child did something similar when she was four, I think. I called her by name and she, in an accusatory voice, said, "Daddy, you're supposed to call me 'Daughter'." So it's been ever since, she's either 'Daughter' or 'girl-child'.
      Once her mom asked if she was also supposed to call the kid 'Daughter' and the girl says, "No, only my Daddy has to call me that."
      She did relent and tell her mom she could call her 'Daughter' if she really wanted to. I think she was just being kind because her mom acted a bit taken back by her response though.
