Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for July 24, 2015

Transcript:
Marigold: You are awake.
Phoebe: Shhhh! I thought I'd get some more reading in, There's JUST enough light if I squint. You're the best,
Marigold: I know.
Marigold is far better than the flashlight I used to use when I was a kid. Ofcourse, her glow might alert the parents Phoebe is still up which is why I used to hide under the blanket when I read after bedtime. Quick, Phoebe, double Marigold’s horn as a tent pole as well.
One of the books on my freshman high school reading list was Jane Eyre. I had already read Wuthering Heights ( couldn’t put it down!) and I ended up staying up most of the night reading Jane Eyre, too. Even as a kid those Gothic novels got me.
Well, God knows I could have used a unicorn at Phoebe’s age. It hadn’t been so bad when I was 5–6, because in that bedroom the spill from the hallway was focused perfectly, but the next bedroom directed the spill at the foot of the bed, so I had to lie on my stomach with my feet on the pillows to read.

Well, she’s definitely not like Millie, that’s for sure. Millie wanted those glasses pretty darn bad…

Marigold looks particularly charming today, especially as she graciously lights up her friend’s book.
