I spent most of last summer sitting by the side of a small, jelly-bean shaped pool in Utah with my best friend. One day we showed up and there was a bright red, child-sized kayak sitting on the edge of the pool. It was probably meant for a five year old. So of course my friend picks it up, climbs in and paddles around the entire length of the 20 ft. pool, singing, "I look once more. Just around the riverbend! Beyond the shore....."
She knew the whole song.

When I get sad, I stop being sad and I am awesome instead. True story.
My name is Maryn Smith (Muh-rin
Sm-ih-th). However, Maryn is not one of those names that can be shortened easily. Unless you take out all the vowels, which sounds a lot like 'Mern'. So my friends always called me Mern. Much later, I was talking to someone who was trying to find me on what was probably a very important list and she asked me what my name was and I said Maryn. And she looked at her list of highly influential and attractive people and eventually asked, "Smith?" I said yes and carried on to my very important business. As we walked off, my friend Caitlan said, "You totally should have said, 'No actually it's pronounced Smeet-er... the 'h' is silent.'"
And that is how I became
And that is how I became
Mern Smeether.

ReplyDeleteMe too. I'm glad you know exactly who it was. Haha
ReplyDeleteNever heard of that song but sounds like you were shocked by her singing it (and knowing all of it).
ReplyDeleteRolling my eyes... 8)
ReplyDeletedon't judge. I definitely know that entire song and probably would have sung it too.
