As the trusty narrator, I've taken the smarty pants on countless adventures. I'll do anything for the fans, but off mic, I prefer to keep my adventures in the safe space of my own backyard. However, even a homebody like me can't avoid the unexpected chaos that comes with family life. Take last week, for example. My niece was staying with me when she came down with a nasty cold in the middle of the night. I couldn't leave her alone to get medicine. And that's when I remembered Doordash is there for you. Whatever you need, whenever you need it. With a few taps on my phone, I had cough syrup and tissues delivered right to my door. Doordash saved the night, and my niece was back to her energetic self in no time. Oh, and did I order a little ice cream for myself. Yes, I did, and Doordash brought it right to my door. So while I may not be the biggest fan of real life adventures, I'm grateful that Doordash is always there to help me navigate life's little emergencies. When life happens, get a little order delivered with DoorDash order now. Hello, smarty pants, and welcome to Trusty Trivia Thursday. Today, we're making waves with a legendary mermaids. Before we dive in, a splashy shout out to my smarty friend Hannah in New York City. You wrote in to tell us that who Smarted Is the best, most fun podcast ever and that you learn a lot. Thank you, Hannah. Keep on smarting in my hometown of the Big Apple. And now let's swim into the questions. Question 1 Where did some of the earliest mermaid stories come from? Was it A, ancient Greece, B Pirates of the Caribbean, or C a fish tank? Did you say A. You're sure right. Ancient sailors shared stories of half human, half fish creatures as early as 1000 BCE question 2 what real animal may have inspired mermaid sightings? Was it A dolphins? B manatees or C sharks in wigs? Did you choose B. Well, you're not fishy at all. Tired sailors sometimes mistook manatees for mermaids. Oops. Last question. Are mermaids proven to be real? A. Yes. B. No C. Only on pirate maps. If you said B, you're swimming in facts. Mermaids are part of mythology and folklore, not scientific evidence. You are mermazing, smarty pants.
