"...and I wish you wouldn't keep appearing and vanishing so suddenly: you make one quite giddy!"
"All right," said the Cat; and this time it vanished quite slowly, beginning with the end of the tail, and ending with the grin, which remained some time after the rest of it had gone.
"Well! I've often seen a cat without a grin," thought Alice; "but a grin without a cat! It's the most curious thing I ever saw in all my life!" ~Lewis Carroll

IF: Breezy

Poor Eunice has a terrible case of the heebie jeebies due to her phobia of bugs. After a day of gardening (which for Eunice is an event wrought with frenzied fear), she showered up, put on her best clothes and sat in the window hoping that a moment of fresh, breezy air might calm her rattled nerves. Surely, nothing could go wrong now.

IF: Memories

IF: Punchline

I had no idea what the girl was going to write on the chalkboard for "Punchline", but made it clear she had better think of something by the time her "set" was complete.
In the meantime i had been listening to Joanna Newsom and one of her lyrics is "it was a funny, funny little thing" and i thought, HeY! That's what a Punchline is... It's a funny little thing!

So there you have it.
