Why do I never get any credit around here? I never talk back to Dad. I never make deals with evil sea witches. I don’t go gallivanting around on land with legs. And I do not mess around with humans!!!
But all she has to do is flip that flowing red hair and she gets whatever she wants. She’s still Daddy’s little girl and I’m just a big stupid fish.

Um…
Ok, all I know is she is definitely not getting a wedding present from me!
