learning to use a compass? remember the bottom line

Earlier this evening we got dinner at Chick-Fil-A where Jadon got a kids' meal that came with a compass! He was excited to start using it, & marvelled at how it always points north. It was a good review of directions for him (north, south, east, west), & how each direction relates to each other. As we were driving home, we tried to reinforce his learning with some friendly drills: "What direction are we facing now...? How about now...? Which direction is to our right...?" He was finally getting the hang of the directions, so we decided to throw in some of our customary goofball questions to help him think outside the box a little: "Now which way are we facing?"
"South," he replied.
"Very good! So which way is our butts facing?"
His innocent response? "Down."
