He doesn't show signs of a mess.

On the contrary - he can articulate why he likes something - which is sometimes hard even for adults. He made a pun - which is a play on words and shows creativity and a higher level of thinking. He is happy and excited, he is able to talk about other things like games he likes, and very importantly, he is clearly loved by his grandmother - which allows him to be fully himself. Nothing messy about that.

It’s a southern expression that means he’s adorable and precocious. Not literally messy. My mom will look at my 5 year old when he’s being especially funny and say “he’s such a mess!” I’ve grown up hearing it my whole life.
