Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for June 27, 2016

And it’s magical paperwork that can heal itself when a unicorn impales it.

A very unusual child indeed…

Wait, those papers were stuck on her horn, but in Pheobe’s hands, there is a distinct lack of a giant hole on them. Must be unicorn magic….

She’s not an unusual child, she’s just very special. Variety is the spark of life.

Be mysterious. Fill out your papers in invisible ink, and see if the camp is worthy of your time.

Oh my god, I’m just like Phoebe. I never thought I’d say that.

I have a blue fountain pen

That’s probably a standard feature of all unicorn paperwork, or nothing would ever get done.

I ask you, if there any such thing as a “usual” child?

I am an unusual child. I used to play bank. I would fill out money deposits and such and then run them through the paper shredder. That was when we had an office.

Knowing all about filling out forms is an adult-world skill not to be belittled.

Only girls have purple pens.

…or the occasional artist type…

Good for you Phoebe.

Maybe Phoebe belongs at that camp after all. She seems to be taking after Twilight Sparkle.

She’ll love being an adult later in life then. Seems like there’s no end to paperwork once you grow up.

My set of multi-color gel pens is the cornerstone of my home office, and makes the household look like much more fun than it is. There’s purple, pink, lavender, sky blue, neon green….love ’em all!

When I was a kid, we found a box of blank realtor forms in the basement of our new house. I was in heaven. I would pretend to be a realtor and would fill out pages of these forms. Hours of fun for me. My brother thought I was nuts.

I would think a purple pen would be just the thing for unicorn paperwork.
