Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for March 14, 2025

How would they react if the house responded directly?

A better question would be “How’s the weather up there?”

I think this only works on the school building from Charlie Brown.

It is important that the house hold itself together until they have the money from selling it.

Feeling empty………….

She can ask the house as many questions as she likes, but if the house answers back she should RUN AND RUN FAR AWAY!!! ;D

I’ve been told that when I was little, I talked to our house all the time.

When your car acts up you say “Come on” so why not talk to your house, the result will be the same!

Today is a strange day in the houses life.

Some houses communicate in words. Until you let your subscription to Alexa lapse… Or send the Unicorn on an errand.

Surely the appropriate thing to say is “Thank you for all the great years we spent living in you. We’ll never forget you. We hope your new people are really nice.”

My senses aren’t deceiving me. This is straight-up a Peanuts reference.

You’ve literally been inside that house. Surely you must be past the awkward stage of the relationship.

Good ol’ Sally Brown.

Well well well, a Peanuts reference.

You can ask all the questions you want. Just don’t expect answers.

Hey, I’m kinda with the mom here—I’d probably awkwardly look to make small talk too, partly out of jest at the absurdity of the moment and partly because I wouldn’t know what else to say either. :P

I can see where Phoebe gets her cuteness. 8)
