How Mermaids Spend Their Days

1. Collecting seashells. If you're a mermaid, seashells have many uses; as clothing, cookware, and storage, to name a few.
2. Harvesting seaweed. Because the best underwater meals are made with fresh seaweed, not those slimy strands you find in the market.
3. Talking to fish. And if they want a really fintastic conversation, they talk to the dolphins.
4. Watching ships. A great game mermaids play is called name that ship, where they have to identify a ship from underneath it.
5. Teasing the sirens. Mermaids and sirens do not get along, and often spend hours each day trying to best (or simply annoy) the other.
6. Drying their hair. Lounging on the beach, mermaids can be quite vain about whose hair looks best when dry.
7. Flirting with sailors. Mermaids enjoy flirting, and will often seek out sailors to practice on. But sometimes a mermaid will actually fall for one of these sailors, and be left pining beneath the ship whenever he goes ashore.
8. Caring for her skin. Because saltwater can wreck havoc on a mermaid's skin if she doesn't properly care for it. It's one of the cons of being partly human.
9. Practicing their singing. Because one day, the mermaids will beat the sirens ate the annual singing competition.
10. Exercising. Because it takes a lot of endurance to swim everywhere at a pace that makes getting out of the seabed each morning worth it.
