Well, if it ain't one thing it's another. Beginning of August I'm getting complaints over a nude bather at my little lake. Couldn't be the fairies as they are rather shy with strangers. So I go over there and wait under a tree with one of the fairies. After a bit a dang Mermaid come flopping out on the rocks!
Start toward her, gets noticed and she picks up a big rock and tosses it. But the fairy swooped in and intercepted it before I got killed.
When she saw the fairy she calmed down, and I explained about neighbors pissin' and moanin'.
And she stares at me and then she flipped me off with both fingers!
So I tell her I would put vinegar in the water if she doesn''t quit getting me in trouble. So she shrugs, says fine.
No more problems except her eating all my fish. Which I can live with cause a couple aliens come sneaking by that shore and she beat hell out of them with her tail, and gave their weapons to the fairies to bring home.
Flash forward to today. She shows up at the door and says she needs to come in until the lake warms up again next Spring! Before I can stop her she walks past me and drops a box of lures on a table she has picked up from the lake.
Apparently I should never have let her stay around the lake.
Problems. First of all she smells like a bass. Hair smells like spinach. And had to ask her not to sit on everything cause of the slime, which makes the maid gag. And although she can walk on two legs she has to soak in a bathtub occasionally. So for obvious reasons gets her own bathroom.
And Mermaids are high maintenance. Never mind the fish diet, I have to buy her iguana food to make up for the insects she isn't getting. AND Mermaids are all about pretty. Like it's a rule.
I think I have been buffaloed by a parasite. And now the castle smells like defrosted catfish all the time. Only silver lining is her scent attracted cats from every place and the fairies got to practice magic spells on them.
