Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for October 22, 2015
Transcript:
Dad: You always hope your kids will share some of your interests... And at the same time, you want them to be spared the things that really drive you crazy. Mom: So on the whole, we're PROUD you'd choose to dress as an apostrophe for Halloween. Phoebe: I just think they're cool!
