Context: C has not only a button phobia (Koumpounophobia), but also a bean phobia.
*the two of us peering into a pyrex dish in which kidney beans soak for eventual chili-con-carne-fying, now in a partially wrinkled state*
kidney beans are considered safe according to C
C: So, do the skins come off when you soak them?
Me: I don't know... maybe... or maybe they'll just hydrate better later.
*pause*
Does that distress you?
C: No, it's ok, because they're kidney shaped.
Me: But aren't all beans kidney shaped?
C: NO, other beans are bean-shaped.

aw, little buddy.
i can, sigh, never have a dream bathroom covered in penny tiles. :(
Aww... or maybe you just need a house with your own private, penny tiled 'powder room!' You know, just off the private ladies dressing room...
I guess I'm lucky C's b**ton sensitivity is pretty specific. Amazingly, a certain kind of fabric wrapped, but still holey ones are in a 'grey area', but you would think those would still be quite close to the ultimate offenders!
When we saw this place, he was like WHY?! WHYYYYYY?!! It's a little film noir-horror in that shot, eh?
