So last year it was just me. In the rickshaw. In character. When the doors opened... Girls. Boys. Baby's to preteen rushing in to get as close to me as possible. We stopped counting after 80. And last but not least the local paper photographer who had told me only fifteen minutes before that he was upset he had to wait around for some "mermaid" who probably wasn't photogenic to begin with. I didn't bother to tell him who I was.
80+ children and i sang for 45 minutes. They Sang along too. Then I took pictures with most. Have them a sequin each (scales that fell off when I grew my new scales ;]) and answered any questions especially the one little boy that told me his mother told him mermaids didn't exist.
Well again this year the library wants mermaids again.
My my question is hat am I to do? There will be at least myself and two other mermaids this time. But I am the only singer. So what would you think that 80+ kids would like for at least 45 minutes?? Any suggestions? (It's a dry event btw)
