Spend $28 on 'Sea Shells'?

Yesterday, my mum told me that she's searching for clams...

I was wondering why but she just tell me my cousin, Michelle, needs to bring to school on Wednesday. My mum said she forgot about it already and scare will forget again. I was like wondering why need to find clams but she just said my cousin need the shell.

She search for clams at Sheng Siong, at my house market there, at Tampines while waiting for me. And decided to order BBQ seafoods so that we can get clams shells as there is no stock at market and supermarkets. But even BBQ stall at Tampines also don't have clams.

So on our way home, my dad drove us to East Coast and try to find BBQ stall with clams. We manage to find a stall and decided to settle our dinner there. My parents ordered sting ray, vegetable, omelete with oyster and of course the clams.

Only after the meal that my mum told me the whole thing that Michelle told her that she need sea shells (4 or 5 sea shells). That is why she is searching clams for Michelle.

But... 4 or 5 sea shells could means 4 to 5 different type of sea shells. And if you (my mum) not free, can tell my aunt to bring them to the beach what. They could pick sea shells there. Don't need to buy what... I remember once I pick quite a number of nice sea shells. Different type somemore. Even though it's not very big but I did picked some pretty big (almost as big as the size of the clams).

My mum is always obliged to help my cousins get what they need or what she thinks they need. Which she don't have to do it. She could have told my aunt what my cousin need for school what. Anyway, it's her children not my mum's children... (-.-)'''

But since yesterday is mother's day, somemore, we need to have dinner, so I just kept quiet. I should have paid for the meal but then I don't have much cash with me and there is no atm around and I do not know how much it'll cost as it can't be very cheap. So in the end, my dad paid for the meal. I think it was like $28 or something like that.

If not because we need to have dinner, $28 to get the clams shells will be very expensive already.
