Hey guys! I need help- I don't know what I should do.
Okay so a local lady that works with an animal conservation team is doing a fundraiser at a theatre in town, and she asked my mum if I'd like to sing for it ( I wasn't there when my mum was talking to the lady, mum just told me about the conversation)- the singing part I'm cool with, I've done lots of performance work. Only, my mum went a bit further and said: "so you mean any animal, right? What about fish?......(talking to lady)...... So my daughter sang a 'little mermaid' song last year.... ( blahdeblah).... What if she dresses up as a mermaid?"
MUM NO. NOOO.
---my mum only knows that I'm making the fabric tail to swim in- I've not told more than two very close friends about my future plans of getting a silicone tail and hopefully succeeding as a professional mermaid one day.---
SHE WANTS ME TO BE IN FULL PUBLIC ON A STAGE IN MY TAIL. IM FREAKING OUT BECAUSE I THINK THAT WILL RUIN MY WHOLE THING OF 'REVEALING MY PLAN' WHEN I'M 18ish. PEOPLE WILL ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT THE TAIL AND MUM WILL TELL THEM IVE MADE IT. THE QUESTIONS WILL PROBABLY LEAD TO ME PANICKING AND TELLING EVERYONE.
WHAT DO I DO?? F@CK.
but I did have a thought that I could skip my proper tail, and do a walking tail instead, not revealing my intentions at all ( as in it's just like a normal costume... People won't ask questions etc.) Imma probably do that... Also I don't want people my age asking me stuff when they see me at school afterwards.
I don't know why I wanted to tell you all this, because I've made a solution. Anyway.. Someone help me not freak out please?
