Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for July 06, 2021

Some would/could argue that many adults born in the 80s and up are just overgrown children:-D.

That’s nothing. Before I officially became a teenager, I started growing a moustache.

Perhaps it’s time for Marigold to be the Ghost of Summer Camp Past.

try not to overthink it, Phoebe

At Phoebe’s age, I could not imagine my parents as kids. That’s a DOUBLE dose of putting yourself in another’s shoes, and at that age, even the golden rule is kind of iffy. I remember getting my mom a toy truck for Christmas: Nicest present I could afford…

Hahaha, but maybe Phoebe should just ask to see some of her Dad’s photos when he was a kid?

She needs to go watch ‘Back to the Future’. One of the best scenes in the whole movie is Marty first encountering his father as a teenager.

“Beardo”, we called him. He did not care for it.

I like to keep a degree of youth in my life. Trouble is that it gets away from me as the years go on. /sigh/

use unicorn magic, to take her back in time to when dad was her age.

Well, that is technically what he is now, so…

I admit, I always have a hard time picturing someone beardless if I’ve never seen them beardless.

My kid brother and I, in the 50s and 60s, went to the very same camp that our father had gone to in the 30s.
