Devon: "Ok, here it goes. When you're part mermaid or merman, you find out when you're around 5-8 years old. I found out when I was 7. So one day, I was at church. I needed to go to the bathroom. After I went, I washed my hands. Then, I grew a tail. Ok, I just have to put this out here, but normally, you don't grow a tail when you wash your hands except when you first grow your tail. Well, that or you have some sort of mermaid or merman sickness. Anyway, I thought, 'Cool, I'm a merman. I can totally brag about this at school.' So then I did. I would splash water on my legs so my tail would grow. Then, little Marci was born a couple days after I found out I was part merman. (OOC This would make Devon 22 btw) I told her, 'Guess what? You're going to be part mermaid someday.' So then I would keep bragging and showing off that I was part merman for like three years. Then one day, my mom gave me this book with all the rules of being part mermaid or merman. Yes, there's rules. Weird, right? Anyway, it said in one of the rules not to brag or show off that your a mermaid or merman. So then my mom said, 'Please stop bragging for your sake.' I thought the rule book was a fake. So I kept bragging and showing off. Then one day at a pool party, I jumped in the water and my tail wouldn't grow. I kept jumping in and nothing would happen. My friends thought a was a little bit of a fraud after that. My mom picked me up after the party and told me that Uncle Triton took my tail away. My mom told him I was bragging about my tail. I was super devastated. There was no way I could get it back. Then on Marci's 5th birthday, she jumped in the pool and grew a little blue tail. Ever since then, I regret the days when I would brag. I would sometimes even regret finding out I was part merman at all." He tried to fight back a tear. "So there you have it. The only people that know are my parents, Marci, Jaqui, my cousins,uncles, and aunts. And now you."
OOC: Some of this I just made up along the way.
