* Calvin frequently gets attacked by his "killer" bicycle whenever he attempts to ride it. His Dad knows what ''really'' happens; Calvin falls off.
'''You'd Expect''': His parents would realize that the bike is too big for him, and get him a smaller one.
'''Instead''': This never happens, and the bike continues to "attack" Calvin.
* In one strip, Calvin asks Susie if she dares him to eat a worm that he has dug up, and if she thinks that that would be disgusting.
'''You'd Expect''': She'd tell him that it's a bad idea, and make him put the worm back in the dirt.
'''Instead''': She tells him that eating five worms in one sitting would be disgusting ("I don't know about just one").
'''Later''': Calvin digs up four more worms, and agrees to eat them if Susie pays him 50¢ for it. Susie, however, says she'll give him a nickel to eat them, and Calvin asks in response, "What if I have to go to the hospital because of this?".
'''You'd Then Expect''': After realizing that he might have to go to the hospital, Calvin would refrain from eating the worms.
'''Instead''': Susie agrees to pay him another 5¢ if he has to go to the hospital, and then he appears to be satisfied. She still doesn't try to talk him out of it.
'''Fortunately''': Calvin's Mom walks by, and stops him from eating the worms. She tells Susie that "it's mean to take advantage of kids with no common sense" (it would have been clearer if she'd said "it's mean to take advantage of kids ''who lack'' common sense").

* A consistent RunningGag throughout the strip's run is that Calvin will launch an unprovoked attack on Susie playing outside (be it with snowballs or water balloons, depending on the season) or mess with her in general, prompting her to strike ''harder'' in turn.\\
'''You'd Expect''': [[TaughtByExperience Calvin would learn from these incidents]] that Susie is always going to fight back and just leave her alone.\\
'''Instead''': Calvin never does and [[BullyingADragon keeps attacking Susie time and time again]].\\
'''The Result''': Calvin suffers considerable indignation for it.

* The way that the family vacations go. Because Dad is the breadwinner and Mom is the homemaker, he always wants to go camping. There's little to no variety. Mom also isn't a fan of camping.\\
'''You'd Expect''': The parents would compromise once in a while. Mom says she'd want to go on vacation once to a place with a newspaper and good coffee.\\
'''Instead''': Despite her annoyance at her husband, he always has his way. The exception was when they were attending one of her friend's weddings.\\
'''The Result''': Dad is the only one who enjoys the camping trips.

* The first complete camping arc has a ''lot'' of these.
** Dad is excited about yet another camping trip. He's packed fishing gear, waterproof ponchos, and the works.\\
'''You'd Expect''': He would also do one more ever-important task: check the weather. A newspaper report may not be as reliable in the 1980s as a smartphone would in the 2020s, but it may at least give a hint of how the humidity and precipitation will go.\\
'''Instead''': Dad apparently only packed camping gear and didn't factor in a backup plan for bad weather.\\
'''The Result''': A downpour ambushes the family right when they're crossing a river, where their campsite is on an island. It stops raining ''literally'' the minute that Dad realizes it's time to go home and starts rolling up the tents a week later. Cue the angry FacePalm from Dad.
** While Calvin is excited, Mom grouses about how there won't be good coffee for a week. She's not thrilled that her husband believes in roughing it out. When they get caught in a downpour, Mom immediately wants to backpaddle. She says, "We're turning around and going to a hotel!"\\
'''You'd Expect''': Dad would agree with Mom that if it's pouring rain this bad, going back and finding a hotel is a better idea. Sometimes you have to KnowWhenToFoldEm, especially when you're in the middle of a river in a rainstorm with a six-year-old in tow. It's a safety ''and'' comfort issue.\\
'''Instead''': He makes her and Calvin reach the island, unpack, and mount the tents. Calvin is relieved that at least the tents inside are waterproof, but he and Mom aren't thrilled that the only food to eat is canned pasta, spam, and raw fish after they run out of canned food. They also can't do much in the rain, with the river being too cold for swimming.\\
'''The Result''': Dad is the only one who finds ''some'' joy in fishing in the pouring rain, as Mom and Calvin hole up for the week, and he admits the week was rotten while packing up. They aren't able to light a campfire for seven days in a row, meaning they're all freezing when dressed in ponchos outside. He attempts to apologize on the drive back but to justify that at least they built character and grew together as a family. Mom is furious and implies that if they do another trip like this, she's divorcing him.
