Which is why it’s important for the adults in a child’s life to reassure them that they are loved and safe. No, we can’t keep children absolutely safe under all circumstances, but it’s also irresponsible to expose them to adult concepts and worries too soon. They’re going to grow up anyway. Let them be kids for a while.
A world in which one could say, ‘It is a sad world in which your best friend is a unicorn’ would be… rather less sad than the one in which we are living right now.One does wonder if there’s a world like that within reach.
Parents generally don’t want their children to see what is going on in the world that is ugly and meaningless. I watched the news avidly at that age. But then I wasn’t like Phoebe.

The worst kind of happy world is when your worst enemy is a unicorn. Seriously, you don’t want them to hate you.

I love how Dana moves Marigold’s ears back and forth to reflect her feelings.

Yes, the world is a crazy, depressing place. Luckily we have unicorns and Phoebes to help cheer us up.
