Got lots of 'em, too.

She’s since gotten a clam tattoo to remind her of the experience.
What? Does she have Memento disease? Was she likely to forget it otherwise?

That sounds like a great euphemism for doing something fatally stupid because you didn’t research the environment of a place you visited: “Oh, how did Dave die? He pet the moose.”

really shouldn’t be taking that many shells home from the beach either

My thoughts as well. 72 shells would be a lot even if they were just shells.
(To tell the truth, I’m just a tiny bit skeptical of the family’s ignorance. 72 clams is a lot, and heavy, and you’d need a bag for them. Really, they thought they were just bringing home some mementos from the beach? I guess it’s possible…)

These are smaller clams though. I could see kids filling a couple buckets with dozens of one inch shells no problem. Well, no problem until them not being empty turned into buckets full of rancid carcasses, anyway.

Perhaps she has a string bikini that says ‘ask me about my whole-body clam tattoo’ as well? Or a beach wrap with one of those 20-page EU tags on it explaning the whole beach wildlife sitch.

My sister used to joke about getting a tattoo that says “always take your meds”. Funny at the time, but now I wish she’d gotten it.

$88,000? You’d have to sell a lot of seashells by the seashore to recoup that.
