He doesn't even remember the pattern of the egg.... also, I think either way it's hard for the egg to transform into an actual merman cause they need that orb thing, and if their eggs are that fragile I have to say..... that most likely a large percentage of the eggs where broken before they where even born or something, it's fragile like a chicken egg and as huge as an ostrich.... I would have to say of mermaid eggs actually exist we would eat them.... 😓 lol JK, either way he didn't take proper care of his egg and even forgot the pattern of his own egg so, I don't really care that his egg got broken, he didn't care much for it either way.👩🍳🤷♀️ XD
