too, then, three?

In an American drama;

Girl A: I think bla bla bla.
Girl B: Me, too.
Small girl: Me, three.

Huh? I thought it was just her joke.

The other day, in other American cartoon on TV;

Person A: I can do. (Actually I don't remember well the sentence.)
Person B: I can do, too.
Person C: I can do, three.

Oh, it wasn't the small girl's joke. Is it said occasionally?
Or I wonder if I misunderstand. Three isn't three but other word?

You're definitely improving now! Your English is a lot better. Impressed ;-)

Yeah, in the first dialogue, it's a joke - me too (two), me three! It's not that common a joke - it's a little old-fashioned really. The kind of thing parents might say - my Dad does ;-)

Oh, am I improving? I don't realize it though. Goody!!!

I see. It's a bit old-fashioned joke. Probably it's like Japanese "oyaji" gag. It's good I hadn't said it yet. Haha.
