She could be picking it up from school. Try letting her know that what's OK for other children to say to their parents isn't necessarily OK for her to say to you. Different parents have different rules and the rule in your house is ... whatever. Also, you could withdraw privileges if she's cheeky to you. I find 1-2-3 works quite well, as long as there's an understood consequence of mummy reaching 3. You'll need to talk it over with her first so that she understands what will happen if she continues after the warnings have been issued.
