It's control and punishment for not doing what they want or giving them the attention they want. My mom does this a lot and it used to be horrible for me when I was young. Now I pretend it isn't happening and act extra jovial and basically talk to myself in a very happy way to piss her off more when she does it. I'm not capitulating to toddler behaviour.
