Mermaid


I'm sure that most everyone that will read this blog has taken a test of some kind to see which Disney Princess you are most like. I know I have. And every time I take it, I get the same result. Belle from Beauty and the Beast. Which, let's face it, is right on the money. She is the bookworm so of course that would be me. But I have always wanted to be like Ariel because she spends her life underwater. That's why I love that picture. It shows all of the princesses as mermaids. Yes, of course, I am always going to be more like Belle than any of the other princesses, but I will always want to be a mermaid.

Imagine how awesome it would be to be a mermaid. Swimming all day every day. Breathing underwater. Interacting with all kinds of underwater creatures. Now, if there really were such things as mermaids, I can't imagine that they would actually be able to talk to fish like they do in The Little Mermaid. I'm not even sure they would be able to talk to each other. Would they have some kind of telepathy? That is the only way I can see it. I mean, come on. You wouldn't be able to understand a word they said underwater. It would be so muffled. Unless they had some sort of super hearing.

Would they have a type of echolocation? That would be awesome! I mean, they would have to have some kind of senses that would help them know when predators were close, right? If they didn't, I can't imagine they would have very long lives. Another mind boggling mermaid question. How on earth do they mate? Seriously. Obviously they wouldn't be able to mate like humans for the simple fact that...well...they are missing the organs needed for such a task. Just curious...haha.

If you could have one superpower, what would it be? Mine, of course, is to have the ability to breathe underwater. If you could be any mythological creature, which would you be? Mine, duh, is a mermaid. So what about you guys, my blogger buddies?

  1. Ahhh...so glad you asked. I almost did a post like this the other day - more along the lines of who is your favorite superhero/superpower? :) Well anywho, when it comes to mythological creature - I would want to be a shapeshifter. Yes - I want to shift shapes. lol I would want to be able to take on any form - animal and human alike. My superpower of choice would probably be being able to teleport. Yep - that's basically it...in a nutshell.
