- 01:51 - 01:56
Once upon a time, there was an excitable artistic and
- 01:56 - 01:58
musical vanity named Maggie.
- 01:59 - 02:02
Maggie loved to swim through the kelp bounce on jellyfish
- 02:03 - 02:06
heads and baked seaweed pastries with her mother's.
- 02:07 - 02:10
But most of all, Maggie loved to play dress up,
- 02:11 - 02:13
even though she had a closet full of costumes.
- 02:14 - 02:17
Maggie always dressed up as a mermaid.
- 02:21 - 02:24
Although Maggie was a great many things, she was self
- 02:25 - 02:26
conscious about her size.
- 02:27 - 02:29
All the other students in her school were sleek and
- 02:29 - 02:30
slim dolphins.
- 02:31 - 02:35
And Maggie Well, Maggie was exactly what any healthy man
- 02:36 - 02:36
ity would be.
- 02:37 - 02:40
Round, hefty, buoyant and vulnerable.
- 02:46 - 02:51
Her mother would stop and remark, Maddie, you are the
- 02:51 - 02:53
most beautiful man ity and the scene.
- 02:54 - 02:58
You really can be anything you want to be.
- 03:02 - 03:05
But when Maggie changed into her flashy scales and colorful
- 03:05 - 03:10
fish tale in her eyes, she became a wondrous mermaid
- 03:11 - 03:11
in the sea.
- 03:15 - 03:20
Maggie dude or self conscious involvement vulnerable in nature prefer
- 03:20 - 03:23
to dress up as a mermaid most days of the
- 03:23 - 03:26
week when she wasn't of school at school, of course,
- 03:28 - 03:30
she was a mermaid when she and her mother swam
- 03:31 - 03:34
to the grocery store when she was a dinner and
- 03:34 - 03:38
when she got I see Help Cream when fellow fish
- 03:39 - 03:43
manatees or any other ocean mates would stop to admire
- 03:43 - 03:48
Maggie, her mother's would always say, You are so special
- 03:49 - 03:49
and unique.
- 03:50 - 03:56
You can do anything you set your mind to sure
- 03:56 - 03:58
is an amazing mom, both her moms.
- 04:00 - 04:04
If you have moms like that, I hope you do.
- 04:05 - 04:08
One day when Maggie was at the Krill Grill with
- 04:08 - 04:11
her mother's, a group of dolphins from her school came
- 04:11 - 04:11
in as well.
- 04:12 - 04:17
Maggie was drafted remote, fabulous mermaid outfit and was eager
- 04:17 - 04:19
to show off to her classmates.
- 04:22 - 04:26
However, once the pot adult in saw Maggie one stuffed
- 04:27 - 04:29
Maggie, you're nothing but a sea cow.
- 04:31 - 04:32
You could never be a mermaid.
- 04:33 - 04:35
Mermaids are slim and sleep like us dolphins.
- 04:40 - 04:40
Maggie was stunned.
- 04:41 - 04:45
She was hurt, discouraged and downright sad.
- 04:46 - 04:47
Maggie thought to herself.
- 04:48 - 04:52
My mother's always remarked Maggie, you are the most beautiful
- 04:53 - 04:54
mermaid in the sea.
- 04:55 - 04:57
You really could be anything you want to be.
- 04:59 - 05:00
I want to be a mermaid.
- 05:01 - 05:04
But I have always been a manatee, my mother's air
- 05:04 - 05:08
manatees. And I love being like them, too.
- 05:10 - 05:12
I wonder how Maggie is feeling right now.
- 05:14 - 05:20
Have you ever felt like this sense of your daughters
- 05:21 - 05:21
to stress?
- 05:22 - 05:25
Maggie's mother pulled mothers, pulled her aside and said, Maggie,
- 05:26 - 05:28
do you remember what we've always told you?
- 05:30 - 05:34
You are a beautiful mermaid when you are dressed up,
- 05:34 - 05:38
but you are also a beautiful, healthy man and humanity
- 05:39 - 05:39
in your own skin.
- 05:40 - 05:44
Other creatures don't get to decide who you are.
- 05:45 - 05:47
That is your choice, not theirs.
- 05:49 - 05:51
Pretty amazing mothers, don't you think?
- 05:54 - 05:58
Maggie, considering her mother's words, decided to ignore the nonsense
- 05:58 - 05:59
of those dolphins.
- 06:00 - 06:03
She quickly devised a plan and had no time to
- 06:03 - 06:07
waste. Maggie swam home with her mother's as quickly as
- 06:07 - 06:11
possible to start creating her newest dress up outfit.
- 06:13 - 06:14
Wonder what that could be?
- 06:16 - 06:16
Do you have a guess What?
- 06:17 - 06:20
Maggie's scheming up what she might be making at home.
- 06:21 - 06:24
Let's find out, Maggie decided.
- 06:25 - 06:25
Take advantage of the nicknames.
- 06:26 - 06:30
Manatees are often given sea cow and combine it with
- 06:30 - 06:33
her most favour underwater creature mermaids.
- 06:35 - 06:40
Maggie, always a creative thinker, crafted a move made costume.
- 06:42 - 06:47
I wonder what a moon made looks like with great
- 06:47 - 06:51
look Maggie Show and Tell Day was the following morning,
- 06:52 - 06:54
and she got permission to bring her newly created move
- 06:55 - 06:55
made caution to school.
- 06:57 - 07:00
When Maggie came to the circle to share, she swam
- 07:00 - 07:04
up and presented her self with a hefty party.
- 07:04 - 07:08
Tuttle Maggie went on to explain her move.
- 07:08 - 07:11
May costing door classmates No.
- 07:11 - 07:16
Maids are manatee mermaids, and I am unique because I
- 07:16 - 07:20
am the only one in the Inter their ocean.
- 07:27 - 07:30
The dolphins and Maggie's class were speechless.
- 07:31 - 07:32
Maggie was right.
- 07:32 - 07:34
She was the Onley move made in the sea.
- 07:35 - 07:38
After just a moment, one of the dolphins called out,
- 07:39 - 07:42
I want to be a move made just like you,
- 07:42 - 07:47
Maggie. I want to be one too soon.
- 07:48 - 07:50
The rest of the pods circled around Maggie and began
- 07:51 - 07:52
asking her about her costume.
- 07:56 - 07:58
It didn't take long for the entire school to start
- 07:58 - 08:00
dressing up like a moon made.
- 08:01 - 08:05
Every dolphin, manatee and fish put their own unique spin
- 08:05 - 08:09
on the costume, but none as quite as bright and
- 08:09 - 08:10
colorful as Maggie's.
- 08:11 - 08:14
She realized that everyone had a little move made in
- 08:14 - 08:17
them, and that perhaps all it takes to bring it
- 08:17 - 08:22
out is one brave creature who stands out from the
- 08:22 - 08:27
rest. I love the story.
- 08:28 - 08:32
I love that Maggie took a chance to be who
- 08:32 - 08:33
she really knew.
- 08:33 - 08:37
She was deep down inside but also embracing who she
- 08:37 - 08:38
is on the outside.
- 08:39 - 08:43
And when we do that, we get to influence the
- 08:43 - 08:45
people around us to take the same risks.
- 08:47 - 08:48
I hope you really enjoyed Maggie.
- 08:48 - 08:49
The Moon made.
- 08:50 - 08:51
