The Mouse

My mom came to visit today. I offered to put some items that were graciously donated for my Papaw into my mom's vehicle. A local guy gave us some items for my Papaw's medical care because he no longer needed them. But I digress...my Mom then informs us to not place the items in her vehicle because she has a pet mouse that is keeping her company. (it is not really a pet mouse but one that seems to have found its way into the trash that she was taking to the dump and he just happened to find his way into her vehicle) So she has placed traps in her vehicle, with peanut butter, cheese, etc...but he keeps managing to escape and is obviously living off the items that she is attempting to lure him with. Tonight, Matt carried some items out to her vehicle and warmed her vehicle up. My mom requested that he crack a window, when he cranked the car up. I jokingly commented that she did not want the mouse to die from the heat in the car. Practicality wins though and a dead mouse in a car will stink for some time (although she just didn't want her keys accidentally locked in). So, this will make for many fun jokes in the future, as I have already made many today. I promise to share more about the mouse soon, as I have more funny incidents.
