Because he's smart and tenderhearted (when he's not being aggravating!).
To illustrate: Yesterday my mom was preparing a package for my brother Justin and his kids, and explained to Andrew that Justin was in school because he needed to learn things and get smarter so he could get a job and make money. Andrew responded, "I don't need to go to school. I'm already smart." (I wonder what that says about the rest of us?)
And then this morning, we were playing some familiar children's songs on a CD when "On Top of Spaghetti" came on. I tried to get Andrew to listen to the words. He did, and started to giggle. But then, when the meatball got stuck under a bush, he unaccountably dissolved into tears. He was feeling sad for the meatball, of all things! Funny kid.
