Like on TV, ma!

I ate mussels yesterday. They were good, cooked in garlic and white wine.

One of them had something kinda hard in it, and I thought I might have eaten a piece of shell.

I spat out a pearl.

I didn't know before then that mussels were capable of producing pearls, but I suppose all those clam-like creatures must do them.

Its a very tiny pearl, maybe 1/8 of an inch across, tops, but I'm gonna try and hold onto it for a while.
