Now reason on only one fin-flipping minute.

While scrolling by my Facebook news feed this weekend, we came opposite a friend’s post that acted an engaging doubt about that dear Disney movie, “The Little Mermaid.”

It seems like Ariel could have been “part of a world” a whole lot earlier if she had only finished one small thing: write a note.

It should be remarkable that yes, other people wondered this you know what I’m articulate about

Here’s how Mary Falls from Washington, D.C.

Well we found myself thinking, Ariel could have saved herself a lot of difficulty if she had only schooled to review and write. She could only scrawl out an reason of her conditions for Prince Eric like, “Hey Blue Eyes, we saved your life and afterwards we fell in adore with my voice, that we could substantially get behind if we only used your adore to try to siphon it out of my throat by my mouth here,” though like nicer and in princess language. Then they could go forward and sign a deal. But afterwards we figured, if she was a daughter of a king, she substantially could review and write. She substantially had a glorious underwater preparation available, generally given she was a star of a underneath sea orchestral extravaganza, that had positively no room for scrubs. Then it occurred to me, duh – they can’t write underwater but those special pens, and they’d have to be means to travel to The Sharper Image to get those. But I’ll be damned, she sealed that agreement with Ursula.

And there it is, a smoking sorcery fishbone pen! Plus, she writes in ideal cursive, not some special mer-people denunciation that wouldn’t be clear to a Prince if he, say, review a note scrawled in a sand.

Falls continues:

“So, Ariel is totally flipping lettered and, in indicate of fact, has glorious penmanship! we had to give her a advantage of a doubt and think, good maybe she didn’t wish to explain herself means she was perplexing to be a cold H2O fish about a whole understanding and take her diversion to a subsequent level. Except she attempted to explain herself on a beach while dressed in a cruise and miming like an darling lunatic. Crushingly, Ariel positively could’ve sealed from impulse one and happens to be a moron.”

Oh, Ariel, we poor, hapless soul.
