This is my son’s Little Mermaid Happy Meal Toy. I believe he got this last year when the remake of the Little Mermaid came out. We haven’t seen the movie and I’ve actually never seen the original Little Mermaid either. A month or so ago, someone must have been talking about it or maybe they even watched a part of the movie in school, because Jackson came home and was talking about the movie and we said we should watch it. But we still haven’t yet. Regardless, now I have a drink for it and since I’m talking about it again, maybe we will finally get around to watching the movie.
