Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for December 31, 2014
Transcript:
Phoebe: The name "Phoebe" means "bright and pure." Marigold: It is a good name. Phoebe: I guess, but people keep saying it wrong. Sometimes I think I should just give up, and start pronouncing my name "Fobe." And it doesn't rhyme with "Dweeby," so Dakota would be thwarted! Marigold: It does rather suit you.

People who donāt know how to pronounce the names of characters in Gilbert & Sullivan are unworthy the notice of civilized humanity.

Alas, what boots it?
āForange, ForangeSlipped off her door hinge,Fell with her nose like a knob on the ground,Now if you turn it it goes āround and around.ā
Aināt no cruelty like kiddy cruelty. But our own dear Phoebe can at least be glad that Dakota has never read Thurberās āFurther Fables for Our Timeā.

But if she started pronouncing her name Foby, Dakota will just replace dweeby with dopey. :/
