When the @reply from Andy’s Twitter feed popped up on the iPad while he was playing a game on it, “Twitter stop bugging me. I’m just a 5 year old boy.”Â
After I told him, “Jude, I love you so much. You are so special to me” he just said, “I know, Mom.”
After I told him to throw away a half full can of pop, but then added, “pour it out first.”  He obediently went to the garbage can, poured the pop into the garbage can and then threw the empty can in too. When I expressed my surprise at what he had done and told him I meant that he should first pour it out in the sink and then throw it away, he said he had wondered why I wanted him to do it like that and then laughed and said, “I was kind of like Amelia Bedelia.”
