14. Ours has a VERY highly-developed sense of entitlement, and is quite overt and confrontational about it.

If my wife locks him out of the bedroom (which involves putting a stick of fairly precise length under the door lever so it can't be opened from the outside and is always between 5:30 and 6), he starts acting like a complete asshole, thinking he will force some action from a human, and that action had better be good.

On the second day he was here, he figured out how to open the interior doors, which have levers instead of knobs. He is now trying to work out the Venetian mini-blinds. He knows the dangling strings are not just enticing, but essential to the operation of the blinds. His chief obstacle seems to be a lack of thumbs.
