“You know,” she said casually, “in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Iggy always eats his food all by himself.”
Amy’s ears perked up. “Mom Catherine,” she announced, “I want to feed myself!”
Catherine had no choice but to hand over the spoon. Amy kept her eyes on the screen, but she dutifully ate her meal. One bad habit at a time, Jessica thought. If she tried to correct too many things at once, Amy would feel like she was being attacked.

“Do you know what kind of dog Iggy is?” Jessica asked.
Amy looked up, her eyes wide with curiosity. “What is he?”
“He’s a Boston Terrier,” Jessica explained. “They’re small and cute, and they have blue eyes.”
“You watch that show too?” Amy asked, delighted.
Jessica smiled. “It’s a show for kids.”
“But you know so much about it.”
“That’s because Mommy has read a lot of books,” Jessica said. “My head is full of knowledge, so I can recognize all sorts of things.”
Amy looked at her with newfound admiration. “Do you know what kind of pig Peppa Pig is?”
