Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for August 03, 2016
Transcript:
Phoebe: What's that? Marigold: It is an ancient unicorn summer tradition. In the unicorn lands, we call it the slip and slide. Phoebe: We have one of those in the garage. I've been meaning to have dad bring it out for weeks. Marigold: Does yours twist past crystal spires and end in a shimmering pool? Phoebe: If it's supposed to, my dad's been setting it up wrong.

Does the unicorn version of a Slip-and-Slide sound like my kind of Slip-and-Slide? Dunno.

I never knew anyone with a yard large enough to set up a slip’n’slide.

I don’t know, sounds kind of wet and slippery.

We used to set ours up in our steeply sloped front yard. There was no pool at the end, and we’d get grass burns from sliding off full speed.

When I was a kid, we had a looong sloping garden, 2 acres of fruit orchards, sadly the concept hadn’t caught on in the UK way back then. and now my old garden its a yuppie housing estate. Dang you parents for selling off my heritage ;-)

I think Marigold just added that last part just to make her version more special.

Very wrong indeed.

Marigold’s Slip n Slide sounds cooler!

Hopefully it wasn’t used like the one in “Off The Mark” as posted on June 19, 2015.

I nearly died as a result of a not-wet-enough Slip’n’Slide, as I slammed myself into the ground and knocked the wind out of myself.
If my mother hadn’t known how to do mouth-to-mouth, I wouldn’t be alive now =p
