Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for September 27, 2016
Transcript:
Phoebe: Stupid Dakota won't jump rope with me. Marigold: I am sorry. I could jump rope with you! Phoebe: You? Really? Marigold: You sound surprised! Phoebe: Well, you don't have hands. Marigold: Once again, you are being digitist. Phoebe: Once again, that's not a word.

Maybe Mari could bring the rope to life and have it move on its own for Phoebe to jump in.

This ought to be good. ( I think ought is sort of an adverb and good is an adjective, but there is no noun in the sentence. I hear this a lot, is this proper? Can’t believe I’m asking my Phoebe friends for English help)

In human terms, maybe, but it’s clearly a word among the unicorns, and it makes logical sense for it to be among them.
