It's very disappointing for a six year old boy to be told off for looking up his mama's guests' skirts, especially when the only other ladies he'd ever met happened to be mermaids and therefore he only wanted to find out how they walked on the great big tails he was convinced they had instead of legs

....you were a bit weird as a boy, Christopher.

[iknowmore]

I was six and spent most of my time alone in the nursery! I think I was normal considering everything.

[eiremagic]

You really were posh.

[iknowmore]

It wasn't all that unusual a way to bring up children back home.

[bufferprincess]

Didn't your mom have legs?

[iknowmore]

The women back home usually wear skirts that reach the floor, so I had no idea whether she did or not.

[bufferprincess]

... wow. You had a really odd life. So you never hugged her?

[iknowmore]

She wasn't quite the type to encourage hugging.

You wouldn't confuse humans with merpeople if you saw what they look like in my world.

[iknowmore]

What do they look like in your world, Ginny?

voice;

[7thborn]

Not like people.

The ones I met did, apart from the tails. I didn't know they were mermaids at all at first, I'd never even heard of mermaids when I was that age.

[iseemore]

I would have been disappointed as well, I believe.

[iknowmore]

It's funnier looking back on it than it was at the time.
