Amelia Bedelia Helps Out

Her misunderstandings are so funny but also make me wonder how children comprehend instructions. Did anyone else feel nostalgic or annoyed by her antics?

Amelia Bedelia's mistakes are exaggerated but highlight real lessons about following directions carefully. Do kids pick up on that moral easily?

Her literal-mindedness makes for timeless comedy. I wonder what sparked the idea for a housekeeper who takes instructions so literally.
