17. Beautiful reply from the county

[Tommymac]

18. Awwwwww

It's so grand to read positive things about bureaucratic types.

[jmowreader]

19. Of course, you do realize...

…finding biodegradable glitter will be harder than finding a unicorn. Damn those environmental regulations!

[ProfessorGAC]

24. Well Played!

Believe it or not, I worked on a micellar design to get a pearlescent looking formula for skin cream without using the crushed plastic broadly used.
At low concentration, everything was water soluble and biodegradable.
Maybe someone can figure out a way to do glitter!

[Hestia]

34. Hero Arts company in San Francisco area makes biodegradable eco-glitter

[xmas74]

40. Food grade glitter should work just fine. Nt

Santa must work at that Dept of Animal Control. Hope all such offices have him on duty (at least part time!).

[ProfessorGAC]

Going so far as sending the stuffed unicorn is EXCELLENT!
Great story.

[Hekate]

Good. That's a great use for it.

Carry on.

[LudwigPastorius]

32. Does that license also cover the gryphon she keeps in her room?

[Ziggysmom]

33. Best thing I've read in a long, long time. The innocence of a child makes the holiday season

Kudos to Ms. Mayeda.

[librechik]

45. There are literally dozens of them on Google (toys of course, but she didn't specify a live one!

They are the right size to keep in the backyard and all prices. Kohl's has one on sale for 83 dollars.

Come on Santa Claus!

[BobTheSubgenius]

48. If this post failed to raise your spirits and make you smile...

...you have had a shockingly bad day indeed.

50. First thing I thought of was

her parents probably told her she needs a special permit to get one. Now I wonder what they are going to do. Smart kid there.
