Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for April 27, 2016
Transcript:
Marigold: While my horn is indeed magnificent, is it my best feature? Perhaps not! I have always regarded my tail as a fine accent, like the coda at the end of a symphony. And you see my hooves, polished to a shine! It is all part of a rich tapestry. Phoebe: I asked you your favorite kind of pie. Marigold: I prefer to answer the question I wish had been asked.

Careful Marigold. Sometimes getting too much into yourself is not a pretty sight.

You’re supposed to answer her question by asking a question of your own…then answer THAT question.

Her best feature? I would have assumed it was her nostrils. They are heavenly, after all.

She’d make a good politician then, because I suspect they all rather answer the questions they wish they had been asked instead too.

My HUSBAND does that, and it took me 25 years of marriage to figure it out and finally say to him, “Would you answer the question I asked, please?” instead of interpreting his answer to fit my question. NSA’s got NUTHIN’ on him when it comes to playing it close the vest.
