Oh my gosh this is adorable and hilarious!! Word play is my jam, so I love punny names like this, but my idiot side comes out in things like following instructions or geographic awareness. I'm really great at following very, very specific and deliberate instructions, but if they're not as specific as possible I very quickly turn into those ants in Bugs Life when the LEAF has RUINED their LINE and WHAT DO THEY DO NOW???? And I get turned around just coming out of a parking lot literally every time.
Every time I leave a doctor's office, I get nervous, because I can never figure out which way to go to find the exit door to the waiting room. Even when I think I'm following the exit sign, I somehow end up somewhere else looking lost. I can also get lost in my own town.
This is another one of your post that I keep getting back to full of affection and gratitude! (And it has nothing to do with the fact that… I too am an idiot!)
this is a bit more advanced but one time i said to my dad, 'wow, it's amazing that the Bee Gees found each other, because they all have such similar voices!' and my dad went, 'Olivia, they're BROTHERS. Bee Gees stands for Brothers Gibb'
I really do love your work. The colors, the line, the handwriting—everything!
Here’s my Homer Simpson idiot moment, which occurred one day weeeell into adulthood. I was walking down the freezer aisle of a big grocery store. As I passed by the breakfast section I saw rectangular boxes of Eggo Waffles. It dawned on me what leggo my eggo meant: let go of my eggo!
And now that I’ve publicly shared this story for the first time—to strangers no less—I no longer need to feel embarrassed. I’ve been released!
I commiserate - English is also my second language and I struggle with puns. One of my
worst memories was a work-do where everyone on my team had to dress up as something beginning with letter E and I dressed as an egg and then everyone was making egg puns at me and expected me to join in, and my my mind was completely blank each time, and I was just standing there like a panicked egg. I wish I could end this story with a pun. But I can't.
Honestly I forget the things I caught the pun of and years later I’ll realize again and be like I never knew this! I don’t think I knew the SpongeBob ones although I assumed bikini bottom was named after the bikini atoll lol and I can’t believe I missed sandy cheeks. Or maybe I knew when I was smaller but forgot them again lol.
Haha! I love puns, but I’ve definitely had my share of those moments. I love the way you drew the interaction with your mom. That pause before the laughter is everything!

I'm the EXACT same way!! Absolutely useless when it comes to navigation. Everytime I enter and exit a store I have no idea where I even came from!

People with a really great sense of direction, I’m like…how???
