Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for July 18, 2024

Wait, are they outside or inside? If they’re inside, why is there a bee in the house? If they’re outside, then is Phoebe letting her cat roam free outside?

The cat’s not free; it’s stuck to a unicorn!

How does Phoebe know it’s a bee?

now phoebe is bee utiful

In both cases let it bee, let it bee.

“It’s worse.”

A bee once landed on the leg of my jeans. In February. Right after I’d gotten hired. Eleven years later I’m still at that job so I suppose it was a good omen. :D

Un-bee-lievable!

I can’t imagine how distracting it must be to live in a world where the background is constantly changing color.

And later, they died.

Bees and I always got along. I’ve pet a few, which is hard to do, y’all, since they are so small. And sighing in just the right way is one of the approved ways of getting a cat to get off you.

Sharp claws vs poisonous sting. Who risks more?

I think if Marigold twitches her tail she’ll get results. She has to be quick.

When a bee lands on a child and you tell her, “You must smell as pretty as a flower,” she does not take the compliment well.

i’ve had 2 or 3 bees come up and drink sweat off of me recently. it feels really good! There was actually a hummingbird scoping me out, today… fortunately (i think) the hummingbird thought better of it…

but really, am i a low key plant monster?

Oh, bees are one of my fears. A bald-faced hornet stung me in the foot in 2002 and got me sent to a hospital that summer.
