Transcript:
Marigold: *AHEM* I AM ILL! I CALL UPON SOMEONE TO BRING ME SHIMMER SOUP!
Mom: I brought you some chicken soup.
Marigold: Does it shimmer?
Mom: I suppose I could shine a flashlight on it.
Marigold: Oo, yes, do.
I don’t think we’ve seen Marigold eat meat before. She’s always been interested in the standard horse diet, or at least the cartoon horse diet – apples and Phoebe’s lawn and so forth.
Maybe she should get Florence to come and look after her! She must be accustomed to her sister’s shenanigans.
Deer trample and eat birds when they can. Unicorns might do the same, with the advantage of being able to catch their prey with telekinesis. Or they can influence humans to give them their food.
You stirred a memory: I used to work for a Burger King owned by two brothers. One of them, when we were slow, would run through the grill a limburger sandwich to toast it. Or possibly to watch us all run out of the store, I’m not sure which. :-)

Just what we need – an attention seeking, self loving unicorn who is ill!

It been well established that Unicorns are either carnivorous or omnivorous. Check out Buni for a reference.

Here Phoebe doesn’t look like a little kid anymore. Is she growing up?

The shimmer comes from the chicken fat floating on the surface. Yum.

Since Marigold has the power to make hair fall out. Phoebe’s mom is VERY wise to be catering to her needs right now.

How many cans of chicken soup are made from one chicken?
dogday Premium Member about 10 years ago
Oooo, my favorite…chicken feet soup! Yum! Tastes like, um, TACOS, yeah, that’s it, tacos!
dogday Premium Member about 10 years ago
Very sweet of Phoebe’s mom to offer to shine the flashlight. Marigold is obviously not used to being ill.
Comic Minister Premium Member about 10 years ago
Good job mam!

Don’t we ALL kinda get that way when we’re sick?

I can see Phoebe’s mom has a good bedside manner.

Of course Marigold eats chicken. Why else would she have a horn?

Vegetable soup with lots of garlic. That will scare the shimmers away.
dogday Premium Member about 10 years ago
You betcha!
