Word Spy Things Ariel Taught Me Ariel. In 1989, she was who every young girl wanted to be. This Little Mermaid proved that if you work hard and play your cards right, you can have your cake and eat it too… on a boat, with your Prince and fireworks. Complete with a little emotional growth learned along her road to happiness, she is living-cartoon proof that you can achieve everything you want out of life, circumstances be damned.

All these years later, I’ve realized Ariel schooled me on some very important tips on growing up: - Never show up late to a party your parents are throwing. - You don’t have to be satisfied with the status quo: it’s okay to push the envelope, just remember to watch out for sharks. - Everyone needs a Dinglehopper.
