Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for May 08, 2023

Turns out Karma can cause insomnia.

You will master the art of instantly falling asleep at will. Just remember not to do it while standing up.

It seems like a strange reaction to an innocuous and well-meaning remark.

Not nice Phoebe, now your guilty conscience will keep you awake!

Is this some kind of reverse psychology? Maybe Mrs. Howell can tell me to not sleep well and then my insomnia will be cured.

“You better not eat all your vegetables!”

“Oh yeah?!” [Gobble-gobble-gobble]

So then, Phoebe…what did we learn here? ;)

Not to be critical, but…Dana should have included an advancing nightstand clock to cinch the gag!

I have existed in this world for two decades. Happy 20th to me!

She can, Phoebe. She can.

Maybe I’m missing some cultural meme but that was an unexpected — and unappreciated — bit of nastiness.

Then expect a very troubled sleep.
