Being born with a shell on your back means you get used to shells fairly early in life.
Like right on Day One.
Unfortunately, the same can’t always be said for everyone else.
It isn’t your fault your shell is really cute. Or curved. Or colorful.
You can’t help it if it came fully loaded with four adorable baby elephant legs, matching tail, and a tap-tap-tapping soundtrack as you trek here, there and everywhere on your daily foraging rounds.
You do get used to the ever-lurking paparazzi eventually, of course.
What other option do you have?
But sometimes it sure can be nice to convene with your people in a place where everyone else has a shell and also looks very cute and you can just relax and be yourself.
