Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for May 15, 2019

Millie’s services as a barber actually involve her paying you, and it’s still overpriced.

The cousins I saw most often were older than I, but I was (and still am) fond of them. It’s the rats at school that were not cool (no disillusionment for me there)

One of Phoebe’s cousins is Mr. Krabs?

“Freebie and the Mean”

Nobody would ever pay for one of you because you’re priceless, my dear.

In the family herd I was the youngest of ten cousins, I was also the only male among 9 girls ranging from 14 down to 5 years older than I. Summer at the shore house with all of us together, was, interesting .

Is that a hidden adult joke?

I’m still just trying to figure out how her cousins came to the conclusion that nobody would pay for more than one of her, or, for that matter, why they think people would pay for more than one of them, her cousins?

Honestly, given what we’re told about said cousins, I’d think it’d be the other way around.

Your older, cooler cousins sound like dweebs, Pheebs!

Freebie Phoebe? Does that mean we get a free book?

That’s the way with so many allegedly “cool” people, they are mostly popular with their peers because people like jerks.

I love when we see Marigold’s insecurity. It makes all her bragging believable and even sympathetic.

That is so cruel for family members to do such a thing.

It’s pretty easy for kids to mistake older kids for cool.

Sounds like she’s more nervous about seeing her parents for the first time.
