Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for September 25, 2013

last stip we could argue over right ro wrong but this time all she did was pick it up! Gees give her a chance. Also I hope thats not actually the School’s ball and you just claimed it as yours as many in my did used to do with chairs. I always could tell exactly what chair belonged at what desk after multiple put always and take outs. BUT..why did we do that any how? why did schools make kids put away there chairs at the end of every day? Its not like the room had other uses.

PHOEBE! You monster!

At about this point I would punt it and say, “Go ahead and have it, then.”

Okay, maybe you can try playing ball WITH the little girl. Sound like she is looking for attention.

Some years ago I had a friend who said that, as a child, she was so insecure about friendships that she once locked a little girl in a closet until she promised to be her friend. This may be a similar and much less creepy approach to striking an acquaintance. Heaven knows it would be nice for Phoebe to have a back-up at school with her (as long as she doesn’t go further down the road to creepy.)

Time to pull out the “If you really wanted the ball, you wouldn’t leave it lying around” card.

If she says that one more time hit her hard with that ball!

what is she, a seagull from finding nemo

Maybe her last name is Wilson or Spalding.

“Stop touching that little kid’s ba-… !”

Naw, I just can’t.

Only ball in the recess pile that still bounces..Yesterday it bounces off yer head and ya didn’t toss it back. Today it’s just laying there unclaimed, until ya start bouncing it..What’s more important sportsmanship, or territory, or teaching the li’l ball hog a lesson in playground politics?

What would you do if that kid kept messing you for a long time?

Yo just activatedmy trap ball

I see now.

Oh no!

SHUH ITS NOT ‘YOUR BALL’

Obvious set up…
