Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for October 20, 2014
Transcript:
Marigold: What is up? Phoebe: We're carving a pumpkin! Marigold: Hmm. Phoebe: I was thinking about carving it to look like a unicorn. Marigold: Perhaps it is the wrong sort of squash for the task. Is there a nearby repository of elegant gourds? Dad: There's an organic co-op on 23rd.

Only Marigold can make a slang term sound elegant.

I hope Marigold realizes that, for Phoebe’s dad, “organic” is about as elegant as gourds get.
And yes, I LOVE the language: “…a repository of elegant gourds…” How I wish I’d said that !!
