Isaiah 11:6
Me: Jojo what's you're favorite animal?
Jojo (without any hesitation, joyful flicker dancing in her eyes): The mermaid.
I explain to her that the mermaid is not a natural biological kind. J-P and I once thought a cultural theorist would have a heyday running a genealogy of "the mermaid" in the public imagination. For clearly, it is a socio-psychological, cultural and political trope. I ask Jojo to try again.
Jojo (the flicker is gone): The dolphin.
Me: Why?
Jojo: Because they're playful; they hug and don't bite humans. Oh, and they're really smart.
Me: Ethan, what's your favorite animal?
Ethan (matter of factish, but with a studied rasp in his voice): The shark.
I remembered the time when Jojo dressed the little shark in her Little Mermaid swimming suit. I remember the mutual delight they took in one another. It's clear for Jojo Isaiah would read: "...and the mermaid shall swim side by side with the shark"
