Why do the leaves on my strawberry plants keep flipping over so that the backside is the one facing up? Is this normal?

i have no idea, but it's too far down to get an answer by someone who might.

Little mouse family has moved into your strawberry patch. Mrs. Mouse does not like the deco so she keeps flipping the leaves over so they make prettier blankets for her children.
Strawberry plant may be needing fertilized. Plants grow strangely when lacking nutrients. Plant may be blown by the wind. Plant may be genetically different. Most strawberry leaves don't flip over, the top of the leaf is waxy and protects the plant, whereas the bottom serves a different purpose. Maybe they need more water. If you get yummy strawberries, probably doesn't really matter too much.
