OMG the nose thing with my son, exactly same feelings, I can not stand it AT ALL. I will sit there and pick at it till I get it. (…yay for gross parent things.)
It drives me nuts to look at it, but my daughter’s old enough now that she runs away when she sees me looking at her nose with an eye to picking it. So then I have to keep looking at it all day! ARG!
You’re not the only one who didn’t understand this! You know how a slice of bread sort of looks like a mushroom? Well the mushroom top has to be pointing upwards before I butter it. I rotate it so it’s that way, always.
I wasn’t sure either, until Boum wrote “…I always turn it around before I butter it…” and then I looked at the picture again and got it. I think there’s no really good way to say it, and it must be shown. And I’m like this too. (At least, I start out buttering it that way, but by the end, when I need to get the butter *exactly* to *all* the edges, I just end up rotating it in my hand.)
Buy me a hot cocoa
That last one is making me twitch….
I do the same thing with bread.
Yes, yes, and yes. Your face in the last panel is totally me in my head–how can they stand it?!

Okay, you lost me with the bread thing. How can a slice of bread even BE “upside down”?

1. Never thought of that, but I’m sure I turn the bread around without thinking about it. This makes sense to me.
2. Me
3. My wife. I’ve told her she is not allowed to do this to our teenagers. I have reminded her regularly.
Pop it?
