A word in your shell like...

A friend and I were shopping recently and one of the things she was looking for were some ear shaped sweets. We didn't find any but I found some shell pieces I thought were ear shaped on the beach while I was looking for more pebbles. Now I know where the saying comes from.

Small Project Finish
