Monkey see, Monkey do!

hello everybody...
could anyone explain the meaning of the saying "Monkey see, monkey do!" to me?
Cheers,
Fredo

It means someone imitating your actions or behavior, often without thinking. An adult, for example, might smoke a cigarette in front of a child, and then later discover the child trying to light up one on his own, not knowing it's dangerous.

Thank you very much!
