“My unicorn ate my homework”

My daughter wants a unicorn pencil case for her birthday (to give her credit, it does say, “A unicorn ate my homework”, so at least it’s faintly amusing — I’m searching for a silver lining here), her friends have unicorns on their backpacks and unicorn posters on their walls.
