A few of my girlfriends were over last week and we were talking about Unicorns. Naturally.

Let your love for these animals grow and take a moment to thank Lisa Frank Trapper Keepers for doing such glorious justice to these amazing creatures.

Believe! (said in excited, but hushed whisper.)

Some of my friends scoff at my love, while others send Unicorn thoughts, videos and paraphernalia my way. 

Take a gander:

1) My friend Amanda told me to do a search in the King James bible. No lies: Unicorn is there. Read it and weep you doubting Thomas.

2) My friend Christopher knew of my love for the movie Lars and the Real Girl as well as Unicorns. This was special. I mean, if Ryan Gosling believes…I believe.

3) Lastly, my friend Jared the philosopher joined the conversation. He takes nothing lightly, so I wouldn’t skim over his logic here, folks. Pure genius.

I believe unicorns did exist for three reasons:

1) the background extinction rate has only increased over the millenia where the number of species now is significantly less than what it used to be.

2) there is a mammal with a head-protruding horn swimming our northern seas, the narwhale, why not a hooved land mammal?!?!

3) I believe our fairy tales and myths are more rooted in reality than we realize.

Any logic that incorporates “the narwhale” is a pretty big sell for me.

Happy Magical Monday.
