[Yeah, well. When you're so lonely in middle school that your yearbook page is literally just a list of your favorite books? You're maybe a little bit past "well-read" and edging into bookworm territory.]

It's about a mermaid who falls in love with a prince and saves him from drowning, only he doesn't know it. She asks if - [He pauses, like he's going to say something and then doesn't.] She wants to be human, so a sea witch gives her legs in exchange for her voice. The only problem is she must marry the prince she fell in love with otherwise she'll die and turn into sea foam.

[He hesitates again. He's obviously mixing together the Disney version and the original, but which ending?]

She almost does turn into seafoam, because the sea witch uses her voice to trick the prince, but it's all set right in the end and they get married.
