Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for November 12, 2019

Phoebe, weird? No!

Even the grossest of items have many uses.

If I ever become a big-name actor in Hollywood, I’m going to guest-star on the most degrading show I can find. And drat it, I will make that episode something that my fans are willing to sit through!

Weird is one of the qualities I look for in a friend. Isn’t it one you look for too?

I do this as a gag at the end of juggling plungers. Leaves a mark for sure.

So Dakota refused to take the plunge®?

I think we can all agree we love that about you, Phoebe.

Phoebe: I’m strange, and I like, that’s just the way I am.

Well, Dakota certainly won’t dispute it at least.

Phoebe’s last line I’m going to be saying a lot more often now.

No not weird, just a nonconformist. I tried to imaging how nonconformist would be signed in American Sign Language and came up with not-like-crowd-person.

Not weird. Better imagination and the heartfelt desire to be a unicorn.Phoebe reaches higher

I’m a very tolerant man, but I would have had trouble allowing my daughter to play with a girl that runs around with a toilet plunger on her head. Now, being friends with a unicorn and running with goblins and dragons? Well, that’s traditional…

I love Phoebe’s willingness to admit and accept her wierdness. Its one of thost things that makes her wonderful.

Being “weird” or “eccentric” is in the mind of the beholder.
