Please don't let your kid into a mermaid tail until she can prove her swimming ability this is why we have had pool accidents and most pools have banned them.

That awkward moment when someone says mermaids aren't real and your standing right beside them...:lol:
TAMW you hear a bunch of guys outside of your dorm room door. And one of them says "The girl who lives here has mermaid suit!"
"What does she do with it?"
"Dunno man, swims with it, I guess."
"Oh wait. Is this the one that does the tarot readings for 5 dollars (referring to the sign on my door)? I wanna do that. I'ma come back later!"

When your at the beach and your trying to put on your tail in the path of a huge wave and you just drown. Haaaa. Yeah.
Or when your trying to put on your tail and a person walks by when you have your hand in your tail trying to pull the monofin straps over your heels . Very , very akward.
^ Or when at the beach you are feeling like a majestic mermaid swimming through the waves and then a wave comes up and you accidentally swallow salt water and then you can't stop spitting trying to get the taste out of your mouth.
When you get hit in the face with another mers fluke....
So, as a trial, I did a "marketing target group research", I "tested" a few relatives kids (girls and boys, age between 4-7), asking about what they think about mermaids, and showing videos on youtube about 'real mermaids', and so sad but they all so skeptic :( after I had my tail ready I made appearance for a few of them in pool, but still nothing :D I guess im not enough suggestive or what -.- and since they remember me, not like Livou the mermiad, but "Livou, who believes in mermaids" XDDD Feels like im the kid and they are indulgent adults - awkward :/
I like that moment.Quote:

TAMW you are practically hallucinating because there was a mermaid on TV , and then your family is staring at you thinking your dying and I'm over here just trying to get the "There was a MERMAID GUYS. YOU DONT UNDERSTAND" words out of my mouth lol. I eventually stopped and the staring continued but even after I turned around I could see my nana and Papa look at each other with a 'what is wrong with her' look. Oh I had to explain myself real well then.
And more awkwardly the only place I can swim is in my bathtub , and my sister walked in with me just blank eyed. I just drifted back under the water lmao ~
That awkward moment when your bunny tries to take a bite out of your monofin because she had a thing for silicon...

TAMW
you are hovering the door opener since early morning. Nothing happens for hours. You start doing your make up, one eye is already done, bold black eyeliner and all.
Then they finally bring your tail, the bell rings and you have to open the door basically looking like Two-Face
Not so much of an awkward moment, but that moment when you are at your first gig at a rented out public pool and a boy says, "Isn't that a little bulky for a public pool?"

The awkward moment when A JELLYFISH ATTACKS. I ended up flopping about awkwardly. It didn't hurt that bad, actually. I was just taken by surprise.

That awkward moment when your friend is interested in becoming a mermaid, but you didn't know she has REALLY been doing her research so you start trying to tell her what monofin would probably work best for her foot size and she finishes your sentence by saying the exact monofin name you were going to suggest and then she starts describing a mermaid video she watched and you finish the sentence for her by saying the name of the mermaid.
Wow! I am kinda glad I don't have to do that with my friends.Quote:

And the park ranger replies with, "Tail?"
Your cousin just casually says, "Yep. She's a mermaid."
And then you have to explain yourself to the ex-military female park ranger who continues with, "That sounds interesting...could you imagine if you just started swimming around the lake in it and came up to people?"

That's when you say "That's the plan!" and throw her a big wink.Quote:

That awkward moment when you decide to take your tail off once out of the pool, so you hoist yourself out only to get your fin stuck between the pool ladder's rails and make a CLANG loud enough that everyone in the pool notices. Then you have to awkwardly roll to get it out and look like you're beached, your other mermaid friend cackling behind you.
And every single time: "Hey look, it's a mermaid!"
That Awkward moment when you are doing a roleplay and you and his character are going swimming and you send him a picture of a monofin and expect him to know what it is and how to use it. Lol.
-He thinks I'm crazy now lol-
That awkward moment when the lifeguard leans over and tells you there's no monofins allowed.

When your friend is talking about how they were watching a Youtube video about interesting subcultures on the internet, and you realize they're describing Mernetwork and the whole merfolk movement halfway into the conversation lol. I had a hilarious "Wait, what? Oh dude, I shit you not. I'm a member on there lol. It's super chill" moment last night.
That awkward moment when you realize that you recognize other mers more by their tails than by their faces.

Ok so TAMW
Your driveing home from your second job and a manager from your first job texts you what’s up mermaid...then uses it as a Segway into asking for nude pics of you in the bath tub.
TAMW you put on a fabric tail for the first time in your boyfriends pool. (He working in his home office) you swim and are not graceful are going to get out. Then said boyfriend walks and goes oooooooh your so cute let me take your picture. Leading to TAMW you look at the pics and see you have more fat rolls than you thought. And are face palming when he goes oh I sent them to my parents !!!!!
Witch a few months later leads to another TAMW I look at the pic again and see the problem was my swim top had come partially up and have my boobies are comeing out of the bottom and not only being imbarased all over again and then adding to the shame going ( omg my boyfriends parents have now seen my boobs. Lol my bf is 47 and his parents are in their 60’s so hopeing they didn’t notice to much !!!
Also TAMW you show your boyfriend pic of professional mermaid in some most amazing photos and all he does is smile and shake his head and you just go for it and say I think that would be really fun it must make them so happy. And he gives you the awe your cute but are you into this and how into this are you look. Then he says what ever floats your boat and makes you happy! ( little does he know I may grab him to be my mertender)
TAMW you show him pics of really handsome mermen and he say no way in hell a strait man would do that I’ll never wear one ( dreams crushed ) I will find a way to get him in a tail on day !!!!!
TAMW your coworkers learn of your mermaid up session and go well don’t you have more important things to be spending your money on. How can you justify spending that much money on a tail you’ll only use a few times.
TAMW you stand up in front of your college English class and have to name 3 things about your self and you go with. I am a mermaid, I like older men, and I love anime.

As a 63 yr old man: We still notice. But we also understand the issues.
"no way in hell a strait man would do that" Tell him I'm strait and a merman. I do it for fun.
Shocked that he can sexually harass you so brazenly. I hope for your sake you aren't still working there @_@Quote:

I am still working there but he got fired. He sent pics to me of stuff below the belt if you know what I mean. And apparently was hitting on a bunch of my other coworkers just not to the extent he was with me.Quote:

That awkward moment when: you go mermaiding in a river that your human friends are going tubing down and the river is moving them quickly away and you are in the shallows struggling to quickly get your tail on and your monofin foot pocket curls under a bit and you are struggling to get it situated and no one sees what you are doing and you hear one person ask, "Hey, do we need to wait for her? Is she just chillin' there or what?" and my boyfriend goes, "Nah she is okay she will catch up." Which he says as their raft of tubes is going around a bend soon to be out of sight. Then you finally get your tail on and speed off down the river to catch up to your friends. You reach your tube and while huffing and puffing from the swim, haul yourself up onto the raft. Then you realize you pulled your tail up too hastily and it is on a bit sideways so you start pulling on the fabric and you feel awkward because you are disturbing the peace and tranquility with all this noise of pulling on wet fabric. Minutes later, one girl with your group who is floating right next to you looks over and is like, "Oh wow, she's a mermaid!"
That other awkward moment when everyone decides to stop at a sand bar, and you decide to stay in your tail so you swim up to the bank and sit there in the shallows minding your own business while the others are talking about chugging some alcohol and for some reason they form a circle around you and you just look up at everyone standing over you chugging. O-K. haha
I had a ton of fun :)
Oh man! That sounded like it could have been fun! :D I've always wanted to take my tail down the river, but ours are so shallow (and I'm so blind) that I'd certainly be in for some trouble! Hahahaha!Quote:

When little kids keep asking to touch your tail.
