“It’s a seashell.”

“I know it’s a seashell. Just like the other one.”

“Why are you asking me what it is then?”

“I’m not asking you what it is, I’m asking you why it is.”

“Why it’s on our lawn?”

“The ocean is 6 hours away if you speed. These are too small to be something from seafood. And they keep showing up.”

“Maybe they got thrown out and the bag exploded?”

“That’s one shell explained, not a bunch.”

“Maybe a cat or the birds? They leave stuff if you do things for them.”

“I thought birds left shiny things. And we haven’t done a thing for those cats.”

“I’m stumped, then.”

“Time for a stakeout, then?”

“Don’t be shellfish.”
