I drew a mermaid today. Wondering why? Read below. This drawing doesn’t exactly follow the conversation, but it started me thinking in the mermaid direction. Now I might do a whole series!
In the meanwhile, my wife says Mermaids don’t have vaginas. But I think mermaids have the right to reproduce just like any other fish/person so I gave her one. What do you think, Do mermaids have vaginas?
My Facebook status this morning:
“I had a great idea for a quote for today’s napkin. I went to take a shower, now can’t remember what it was. grrr…”
The comments went as follows:
Hanna: Glad I’m not the only one with short term memory probs! 
Margaret: Maybe ‘dirty hair equals great ideas’ or ‘write it down before you wash it away’, 
you could have one of your illustrations with great thoughts coming out out of its grimy head. By the way, I haven’t showered yet.
Me: Margaret, at least you wrote it down before you showered! LOL
Ryan: You are supposed to have good ideas in the shower, not lose them.
Me: yea, I reversed that truism, didn’t I!
Kathi: I think you now have a new idea for today’s napkin!!! “When brilliant ideas get washed down the drain!”
Deborah: ACTUALLY …. I think THAT would make a GREAT QUOTE for the napkin … ” I had a great idea …went to the shower …” …. not only is it a GREAT visual (PG-13 Lots of soap bubbles LOL ) but I can see several trajectories it could take …. our overly busy lives/brains…aging… OR?
Me: I might have to do that Deb and Kathi! I might use a photo I took of you Deb as my starting point, you ok with that? LOL (not going to use me in the shower, bad visual!)
Deborah: LOL !!! ~~~ Marty you in the shower with YOUR HAT ON is AWESOMENESS !!! … LOTTTTTTTS of BUBBLES !!!! …. If you make me into a mermaid …..then ……….perhaps !! Laughing so hard !
Ok. So they have to have a vagina somewhere because they have to reproduce or their would be no more mermaids. If you think of how fish procreate, I’m sure this is how a mermaid would too. Eggs then the male fish takes care of them til they “hatch”!
