Clearly, this is one debate I won't win. It reminds me of the 'Friends' episode when Phoebe challenges the existence of dinosaurs to Ross the Paleontologist.

Speechless
We all know that Lanie is obsessed with all things Unicorn. She thinks that unicorns lay eggs when they make babies. While watching the dinosaur babies hatch from eggs in the movie A Land Before Time today, she got asking me about eggs. So I tried to explain the difference between mammals that carry their babies in their bellies (like humans, horses, cats and dogs, etc.) vs. fish, birds and reptiles that lay eggs. After citing my egg-laying examples, she said, "Like unicorns?" I reluctantly explained that unicorns aren't real. Again. She said, "Yes they are. Me and Anna saw one on the subway."

She's right you know. I saw one on the train once. ;)
Ha! : )
I would have at least straightened her out - Unicorns are MAMMALS! They don't lay eggs, they carry their babies in their bellies. DUH!
Ha. Very true and we've had that conversation many a time too. Do you think unicorn babies are born with no horns, though? Like deer? That would suck if not.
