Economic Changes

Dinner Conversation from Yesterday:

Uncle Mark: What are you going to be when you grow up?

Me: Yeah Ella, what are you going to go to work and do when you’re big?

Ella: I’m going to be a mermaid and I’m going to go to work and build houses like Grandpa.

Dan: Yeah, you gotta have something that pays the bills

Uncle Mark: I understand the mermaid racket has really gone downhill since sonar and GPS and all. You know back in the day you could lure those boats out pretty easy and take ‘em down like that ~snap~ and then gather up all that booty, but now days you do all that work to bait them out and end up with an oil spill – shit, that’s hardly worth it. Those mermaids just aren’t in it for the money any more.


Ella: Yep.

Ella doesn't have a chance at normal does she?

Um, I think that chance left the building when your egg met with your hubby's swimmers.
