(This isn't about fairies, but they didn't have a section for mine.) When I was really young, like 7 or something I would swim at this public pool where my grandparents lived. One time at the pool I met a girl, and we hung out and talked for awhile, and found out that we had something in common: we both believed we were mermaids that hadn't grown their tails yet. We would look under water at our legs and lower bellies and mistook the tiny bubbles that appeared colorful in the sunlight, for scales. lol.
