Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for June 17, 2012
Transcript:
Phoebe: Mom says I can grow up to be ANYTHING I WANT. But that's not really true, is it? There are TONS of things I can never be no matter HOW badly I want to. A gazebo... "Cookie Monster"... John Quincy Adams... a lamp... a teapot... a bowl of apples... Marigold: And yet you manage to be bananas. Phoebe: A scooter... a platypus... the Crab Nebula...

A variation on “you can have it all”, which is also untrue.

The weirdest thing I ever wanted to be when I grew up was a lobster. I’m thinking of making a cartoon in which a kid states that wish and goes on to wear a lobster suit to advertise a seafood restaurant, boredly.

I saw an AFV where a kid said when he grew up he wanted to be a vampire bat.
