The Mermaid
I was looking down at my necklace, holding the pendant of a little mermaid gently in the open palm of my hand.
She said: "That's cute! "
I replied: "It's a mermaid! When I was little, I used to believe that I was a mermaid. Nothing could convince me that I was not...I was never mad at people for not being capable to understand or willing to accept, so I mostly kept this precious secret to myself. Nothing could ever destroy or even touch this belief - not even the visible lack of a fishtail."
She said: "So what did finally convince you?"
"Nothing", I said and laughed.
