Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for March 25, 2022

It’s kind of awkward when I have to explain to someone that I’m not trying to read their mind, I’m just using them as a random number generator.

I’m thinking of pegasi on purpose to anger Marigold…on purpose!

“4444”

::barf::

lol

not much for human games Marigold is

Unicorn(y)

What if the number relates to the publication date of The Last Unicorn?

Marigold voluntary suggesting the idea that one could think about other unicorns beside herself ?! Look what you’ve done of her in a few years, Phoebe !

I started thinking about the number pi and couldn’t stop.

I used to like that show. Pity Johnny Ball went nuts in his old age!

A little difficult having a conversation with a unicorn at times!

And how many Decepticons are you thinking of?

My go-to answer for “what number am I thinking of?” is pi. I’m never right, but the stunned look I get in response is worth it.

Just explain to Marigold the concept of thinking of numbers, Phoebe.

I’m surprised that Marigold didn’t insist that all four unicorns be her.

4? Is Phoebe a fan of Lou Gehrig? (He was always my favorite!)

Phoebe is thinking of 4 unicorns. That’s 2 plus 2 unicorns. That’s a lot of unicorns!

4 she’s a jolly good unicorn, 4 she’s a jolly good unicorn, 4 she’s a jolly good unicorn and so say all of us!

How about you and three other things, while singing, “One of these things is not like the others….”?

Now we know. A unicorn is as vain as a cat. Just as well cats don’t talk.
