a compliment?

In X-language these days, everything is a comparison.

Something is "volando como pajarito" (flying like a bird), or "llorando como ilane" (crying like ilane) or "grande como un arbol" (big like a tree).

A few days ago she found a plastic penguin (I think it was a Happy Meal toy??) that she hadn't seen in a long time got really excited about it. The wings (flippers?) are pressed together in the front of the body. I asked her about it and she said "Penguino esta orando como mama!" (penguin is praying like mama!)

Training her in the way she should go? I guess I was pretty pleased she thought a penguin and I resemble each other.
