The Mermaid

I turned to my love and said:
I am a Mermaid

A Mermaid?  My love replied
You are a woman

No
I am a Mermaid!

OK, I will indulge you
WHY are you a Mermaid?, my love asked

I answered:

A Mermaid has no tears, and therefore she suffers more than any woman

...............................

You see?

Yes
I see, replied my love

(And then he put his arms around me)
