Mr. Sandman is actually Mrs. Sandman

We finally made our first summer 2009 trek to the beach this past Saturday. Give it up for the Atlantic Ocean! We drove with my cousin and cousin-husband Scarlett & Chris Lindsay to a beautiful place called Fire Island, about 1.5 hours away from our casa in Brooklyn. Why do I love the beach so? Perhaps I am half mermaid, half human. Oh wait, is a mermaid already calculated to be half human? I'm not sure, I'll have to check Wikipedia for that one. Nonetheless, happy beach time, my friends. August is here. If I didn't have a personal requirement to live in a house with indoor plumbing, I would seriously consider living full-time on a sandy beach on one of the coasts. Me and the Merms. And the Mons.
This was an interesting sight... 

And her other sleepy friend...

Fact:
Mermaids exclusively refer to the female variety of Mermen. A male would be a merman.

Fact:
Merpeople can respire both above and below the surface making them a hybrid species, part fish and part human. So you can't be half human and half Merman.

I thought you would have learned this stuff after 16 years of college.

Remember how one of the Monsons got through college in 3 years? Yeah, that's right. Three years.
