Pearl in a Clam

Today is a very special day for my family. 9 years ago my handsome son came into this world. Today he asked me to cook him a special Birthday dinner "Penne noodles with red pasta sauce and clams" we went shopping for some clams at our local fish market, however the birthday boy couldn't believe that I had put all the clams I had bought into the pasta. So seeing the look on his face I immediately called my hubby and I asked him to please go to Publix and pick up some clams, not knowing whether we could find them there. . so being the great mom that I am I steamed 3 dozen of clams and while he and my daughter ate them my 15 year old bit into a beautiful pearl. Shortly after while eating the pasta I also bit into a pearl.
