Awww, that's so sweet! I would love to make a kid's day by being a mermaid that they spotted.Originally Posted by Mer-Crazy
Okay so I had my first encounter with the public swimming today. I've taken my tails out swimming before but never really run into people and never kids. Today I was on the other side of a fairly popular creek (and I say 'the other side' because the side I was on is harder to access, whereas the other side to the one I was on is very easily accessed with a park and a boardwalk leading to the sand so that's where the families usually go) Since it was my first time out in a tail in over a year I was a little nervous so I wanted to find a slightly more secluded area. I put my tail on in the water and got to splash around for a bit, my mum took some photos for me. Next thing I know I look across the river (creek whatever) and I see this little girl pointing at me. Then more people, I eventually hear a lot of 'mermaid! Mermaid' but I was a little nervous so I stayed on my side of the creek (it's fairly wide so the kids weren't allowed to cross) and splashed my fluke around for them, waved a little. Eventually I worked up my courage and swam over... most of the way. I stayed in the deeper bit just away from them to act all shy and keep the mystery since I was worried they'd know it was a costume if they got a good look at my fabric tail. After a little while I swam back over to my side and stretched out on the beach in the sun. It was hilarious because the little girl who'd seen me first kept shouting 'come back mermaid!' it was so adorable and so why I want to do this forever <3
