Mermaids (Again)

Last year for Don's birthday, Claire chose this tasteful mermaid bottle opener. I'm still not really sure why I allowed her to get it - I blame one of my many parenting defects.  The other night, Jane whose mermaid obsession continues, had been staring intently at the bottle opener.  She suddenly looked up.

Jane: "Dad - I know why Claire got you that mermaid bottle opener!"
Don: "Why?"
Jane: "Well, she knew that you needed to open wine."
Don:  "Okay."
Jane: "AND, she noticed that it had big, pointy, puffed-out boobs."

Well, that about sums it up.
