One time when I was 8 I went with my mom to the grocery store, and she forgot I was with her. She was distracted by a divorce my parent were going through. Fortunately, the store was close to home. She got the silent treatment that day.
Not only is it heartbreaking but it shows why Phoebe needs to be friends with Marigold. She doesn’t really have friends but casual acquaintances who quickly forget about her.

Panel 1: Internet disconnected for more than a day in a nutshell. Hard to believe I made it through the 80s and 90s without it?
Panel 2: Join the club Mari.

Yep, had a three-day power outage here about 10 years ago. That was weird being unplugged but for a boombox radio running on 4 “D” batteries.

This IS gonna be tough. I’m so addicted to the internet, I keep using my computer until it dies every time.

It’s a lot like the 6-hour flu. Best answer is to just curl up under your blanket and wait for it to pass.

Make that “ignored”. – After > 50 years, it still hurts.

Why is that unrelated? Because it doesn’t involve a non-honorary unicorn?

Once my friends and I were playing ultimate hide-and-seek, and I hid so well they forgot I existed for 5 games straight
