My name is Andrea. I live in Calgary.
I'm from a French community in New Brunswick. In the summer, we dug for clams in the sand and in deep water. You feel them with your feet. You reach in the water and pick out the clams.
One time, a crab grabbed my toe. Someone said, "Don't move."
It hurt and I shook my foot. I stood still and the crab let go.
Everybody laughed.
