My Mud Mermaid

Have you ever seen a mud mermaid before? Me neither... apparently they are rather elusive creatures. I met one in the backyard yesterday. I mistook him as my son, Todd, but when I said "Hi Todd" I was quickly corrected. "I not Todd... I a mud mermaid." When I asked the little mud mermaid how he got in the backyard, he told me "I swam through the dirt." There you have it... don't plant grass in your backyard, and you might get your own little mud mermaid to visit you!
