Kaavia James, aka "the shady baby" is back in all of her cuteness.

The 5-year-old recently interviewed mom Gabrielle Union in an adorable Q&A session that was captured by PEOPLE. In it, the two discussed fashion, beauty, family and more. Oh, and Ms. Kaavia also made it clear that she's getting taller, and dreams of "being as tall as Angel Reese."I love getting bigger with them and I love just pretending that I’m bigger," she stated confidently. 

Mother and daughter also chatted about their close bond, with Union asking, "What's your favorite thing that we do together, me and you?," to which Kaavia responded, "When we go on a date together." Kaavia also stated that her favorite family activity was spending time together. "My favorite thing our family does together is I like when we all eat together outside and we spend time together outside in our backyard.

There was also a hilarious "shady baby" moment when Kaavia asked her mother why she wears wigs sometimes. " Ooh, triggered. Because I like to switch it up. I like to switch up my look. Because sometimes I want to have short hair and sometimes I want to have long hair, sometimes I want to have blonde hair. And with wigs, I can do all those different things and play all these different kinds of characters," said Union.

The "Being Mary Jane" actress then asked her daughter why she (Kaavia) wears wigs. "So I can have long hair," Kaavia answered. Oh, and she steals her mother's shoes too. "Your shoes...high heels," she said when mom asked her what she always comes into her closet for. "I love getting bigger with them and I love just pretending that I'm bigger."

"You want to be tall like Angel Reese?," Union asked. "Yeah," Kaavia answered.
