"They look the same," Kat asked in astonishment.  She'd seen snails before and hadn't noticed that, but they all had shells on.  "How'd you know?"  It was hard to think of anything but snails now.
 
 
Julia took a sip of juice, waiting a moment, and then answered with an exaggerated icky look "One of them was still moving.  The chef cracked them out of the shell like he was supposed to but missed cooking fifi."
 
Rachel covered her mouth to keep from laughing but it was obvious she wanted to, and hard.
 
And Julia leaned toward Kat and mock whispered "And now you know why I can't stand to see mushrooms."
