Transcript:
Marigold: I shall rollerskate for you. But you musn't ride me when I do it. Phoebe: Why? Marigold: Would you rollerskate wearing a sombrero? Phoebe: Did you just call me a sombrero? Marigold: You are an unbalanced accessory.
Oh Marigold, still seeing Phoebe as an accessory rather then a person? Look on the bright side Pheebs you could have been a porkpie. On the other hand, bears can ride unicycles while in fezzes how dare you let THEM show you up. How dare you let them show you “THEM!” for that matter. I’m sure Phoebe will understand and some day have her own unbalanced accessory to worry about. Don’t let the words of a unicorn get you down, being called a hat isn’t the worst analogy and you don’t know how hard it is to rollerskate when a 2nd person is ridding you. Marigold is probably comically bad at skating and doesn’t want to admit she’s not perfect. She probably can’t play ten musical instruments at once either. Some equestrians have talents others don’t and I think Marigold should admit that before she looses control and skids in to Dakota and sends her careening in to a mud puddle. On 2nd thought…
It takes some practice. Young horses need to learn how to adjust thier balance in order to canter or gallop with a rider on their back. Once they adjust they have no further difficulties. Its a bit like learning to ride a bicycle. Marigold could learn to skate with Phoebe on her back, if they both wouldn’t mind crashing a few times before she learns how to adjust her balance. An expereinced rider also knows how to adjust their seat and position to help the horse stay balanced.

There are a number of unbalanced elements in used in this series already. Maybe they need to use a harmonic balancer in the future…

: D Too much fun! I want Marigold to magic up a disco ball (and Phoebe needs some skates, too!)

Anyone playing a harmonica is unbalanced and unnecessary.

Does Marigold know that you can’t rollerskate in a buffalo herd?

If horses could talk, I wonder what manner of “unbalanced accessories” they would call us!
Having your accessories unbalanced can be painful!
LOL
