In Baltimore, there were horse-drawn fruit/vegetable sellers and I distinctly remember them shouting "... strawbellies, corn, ..." as they made their rounds.

That was probably some of the nicer things that they were shouting.

I like it . Powers-that-be should change to that name, just on the basis of cuteness. :D

Say it out loud 3 times, click your heels together, and wish for a unicorn!

Murph! You acquired a unicorn without first researching how to take care of it? :(

Unicorns are relatives of horses so their eating habits are similar to horses. Unicorns are herbivorous and their daily diet consists of different plants and grass as well as specific flowers and berries. By specific I just mean whatever grows where the Unicorn is living. That unusual flora helps to keep unicorn magical powers on a good level. And being similar to horses, unicorns never say “no” to oats. Here it gets interesting though – besides oats, unicorns are happy to finish their dinner with “rainbow cake” or start their day with “funfetti pancakes”.

This accounts for the increased incidence of unicorn obesity.

And the author has exposed herself as a classic controlling bossy-boots who is happy only when she has reached her life's goal of getting everything she wants, nothing is ever enough, or there is hell to pay.
