* InnocentlyInsensitive: Amelia Bedelia is a perfectly kind and hardworking woman who does her absolute best to follow instructions to the letter, and makes her boss a pie out of nothing but the goodness of her heart. If it weren’t for her being so LiteralMinded, she’d likely be a perfect maid.

** From the first book, she interprets "draw the drapes" as "draw a picture of the drapes", "trim the steak" as "put lace ribbons on the steak", "put out the lights" as "hang the lightbulbs outside on a clothesline" and "dress the chicken as "put clothes on the chicken".
** Amelia also provides the trope picture, interpreting "It's raining cats and dogs" as cats and dogs actually raining out of the sky.

"Yes, I can," replies Amelia Bedelia, thinking that even though her desk in the last row, her legs work just fine. She then sits up straight in her chair, smiling. Mrs. Shauk, used to the workings of Amelia Bedelia's mind, smiles, shakes her head and sighs, then directs her "Amelia Bedelia, would you walk to the front of the room, and stand next to me?" and Amelia Bedelia does.

** Several in "Calling Doctor Amelia Bedelia" that eventually lead to the people getting [[InnocentlyInsensitive offended]] and forming an angry mob:
*** One woman says over the phone that she has hives. Amelia naturally assumes she means beehives and says, "I bet you have honey." The woman responds with "[[WhosOnFirst Don't call me honey!]]"
*** One man complains of being "[[FunWithHomophones hoarse]]", "sick as a dog", and having "a frog in his throat", so Amelia suggests calling the vet.
*** One man says that [[NasalTrauma his nose hurts]] on the bridge. Amelia replies that he must get off that bridge, then.
