Do amelia bedelia what does word mean spring cleaning?

In the Amelia Bedelia books, Amelia takes things very literally. So, when she's asked to do "spring cleaning," she might do any of the following:

* Literally clean in the spring: She might wait until the season of spring arrives before doing any cleaning at all.

* Clean with springs: She might try to use springs (like the kind on a bed) to clean, maybe by attaching them to a broom or dustpan.

* Clean something called "spring": She might try to find a thing called a "spring" and clean it, possibly a spring of water or a mechanical spring.

Amelia Bedelia's misunderstanding of the phrase "spring cleaning" would lead to some hilarious situations!
