Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for September 05, 2013

LOL! That’s absolutely the best “Wuh?” look I’ve ever seen! Poor Dad has no idea what just happened!

The NES was indeed awesome. Sometimes so awesome it would take a few tries to to turn it on, then blew the dust out of the cartridge and put it back in until it worked.

Moral: Never trust a unicorn around your starbucks.

You sure know your dad. Better then your coffee blend..good luck with that pheebster. and if you ask me that question I’ll give you a wii points card and make you down load virtual console.

The level of coffee in the carafe doesn’t seem to have changed after Marigold snitched the two cups. Where can I find a unicorn to keep around my coffee pot?

I guess she’s saving “Where do babies come from?” until she needs a MAJOR distraction…

I was just thinking (I know, very danderous). What if her parents drank decaf? All that trouble for nothing.

I’m surprised he doesn’t still have a Nintendo NES.

I still think this is going to end with a spit take once they actually taste the coffee…

Why the NES was awesome?, because it challenged us to be better, actually few games does that.

Well played Phoebe and Marigold, but they should try the NES. It really was awesome.

I suspect that most kids today wouldn’t care for the NES. Even when it was new, it felt like a collection of limitations (e.g., three sounds, four colors per moving object, saves rarely available).

Marigold better think twice before she drinks that coffee…or next thing you know, she’ll be showing up in a Nine Inch Nails fan-video.

Oops, too late!

I love playing NES when I played Super Mario Bros and Mega Man series.

Wow, the Dad actually gave her the option of wanting to know more? What kind of nerd Dad is he? He was suppose to go on ad nausium about every teeny tiny little insignificant aspect of Nintendo and how it has progressed to what we have today. In the mind of true nerds, if you ask one little question, it is obvious to them you wnat an entire treaties on the subject whether she really wants it or not.

key to good distraction, know your audience

So that’s what happened to all the socks. And here I was blaming the dryer

Give her a chocolate one. Or one made of bubble gum.

Nice technique. Stuff happening on two levels.

: DForgot the cream and (for a new drinker of coffee) several spoons of sugar.

By the way, this has unequivocally answered the question regarding how many objects Marigold can levitate at one time, and it’s definitely more than one!
