Transcript:
Phoebe: I know! Let's play Marco Polo. Marigold: Good idea! I will be right back. You be the Chinese, and we will exchange pasta recipes. Phoebe: I play it kind of differently.
That was a cute interpretation, though when Marigold said “i’ll be right back” I sort of got the joke. Im trying to think of other kids games that could be misinterpreted by unicorns? I think I’ll stay away from Freeze tag. TV tag might give Phoebe an unfair advantage and we already know Marigold’s not good at hide N Seek..though not all unicorns are bad at that game.
That’s not what you do at the beach with a horse. You ride bareback along the edge of the crashing surf with hair, mane and tail streaming out behind, with the hooves kicking up arcs of foaming spray. It should be even more spectacular on a unicorn.
I am not familiar with many children’s games, can someone please explain Marco Polo?

Hey Marigold, what do you think this is, a nude beach?!?! (She wears pajamas to a sleepover after all…)

That was utterly brilliant. I’m now going to do this next time someone is playing that game.

Now wait a minute, they’re in a body of water. How is Marigold resisting looking at her reflection in said water?
