Tamera Mowry says "Sister, Sister" is the gift that keeps on giving.

The 42-year-old mom of two revealed to E!’s "Daily Pop" that her children, 8-year-old Aden and 5-year-old Ariah, are big fans of the show. So much so, in fact, they have been inspired to walk in their mother's acting footsteps.

"They love 'Sister, Sister,'" Mowry said. "Ariah watches it on her own, she loves it so much. Aden loves it so much that now both of them want to be actors."

Mowry, who was 15 when the Emmy-winning show catapulted her and her twin sister, Tia Mowry, into fame, had mixed feelings about her children's announcement.

"I was like, 'Oh lord. Oh lord,'" she laughed.

The "Tia & Tamera" star went onto explain that Hollywood would be in a lot of trouble if her children started acting careers.
