It’s been a while since I took part in Linda’s JusJoJan month-long prompts, but, since I vowed to be creative, here goes!
It’s January 9th, so this is the 9th prompt for Just Jot it January 2022, and it’s brought to us by Astrid. Thank you, Astrid! Please be sure to visit her blog to read her post and say hello. And follow her while you’re there if you’re not already.
Your prompt for JusJoJan January 9th, 2022, is “unicorn.” Use the word “unicorn” any way you’d like. Enjoy!
I think my daughter just missed the whole unicorn mass hysteria, that the little girls out there seem to be experiencing, right now.
Mind you, she’s always been her own person, and even if others were crazy about something, she would decide not to be a follower It was the same with Frozen – she never got into that. Even at 6! And One Direction. Whist others in her class were singing their songs and being all cutesy about who they loved best, she was not interested. Instead, she did a performance of Why Does Every Princess Need To Have a Prince, with some friends at the end of the year talent show.
A real independent woman with a bit of a feminist thrown in there!
Anyway, I digress…
Unicorns. I have a couple of girls in my class, right now, with those hats that have long extended sides, that end with mitten like gloves, and they are designed like unicorns.
Another one joined the unicorn fray, well, so I thought until I questioned her lovely, light-grey unicorn hat.
“It’s not a unicorn, Mrs Bhathal. It’s a narwhal!”
She reminded me of my fiercely independent girl sitting at home.
We ended up doing a little google search to look at pictures of real narwhals, that afternoon.
Why not be a narwhal in a see of unicorns, eh!
But I Smile Anyway...

Narwhales are awesome! What better animal to swim in a sea of unicorns? ❤

I love your story, Sis! Honestly, i can not see such a “unicorn fever” here in Germany . Maybe with a true living Queen in the UK you are closer to this? 🙂
But it’s great that your daughter doesn’t give in to peer pressure without being examined. xx Michael

My daughter was the same, she did not follow trends and to this day, as an adult, she is very much her own person. The world needs independent thinkers like our daughters.
