So Close, Yet So Incredibly Far Away

We had the guy. We HAD HIM in our clutches. Well, not exactly our clutches. We had him trapped.

I saw the little guy and ran over to where he was scooting around and trapped him with my cunning and guile. OK, I put Lucas’ backpack in front where he’d normally run.

Eventually, we trapped him with a big cardboard thing. Long enough to get the camera and snap a few shots of him, and also long enough for him to devise an escape plan. Bascially, he squished himself flat as a pancake, wriggled his way though a crack in between the cardboard and boxes, ran over Jonah’s foot (Jonah SCREAMED and woke up the neighborhood) and then ran in between the unfinished floorboards and the wall.

We cried. We had a cage all ready for him and were going to make him (her?) into our latest pet.

1. He would be such a well-kept nugget of mousey goodness.

2. Judging by his tiny plumpness and glossy coat, I’d say he’s kept himself pretty well on all the goodness in our house.

3. Congrats on being good parents and not squishing the rodent to death in front of the kids.  I’m pretty sure I’d have traumatized the kids. 

   Having a mouse has got to be cheaper than having a therapist.

Holy Crap! Look at all this STUFF down here. It's awesome!

 

Really, I'm glad you made it down here. Almost no one ever comes down here. I'm like in a freaking dungeon down here. I get lonely. But not you. YOU made it all the way to the end of the page. For this I think I've a little crush on you. I don't know, is "love" to strong a word to use in this situation? Well, if it's not "love," then it's very strong "like." I'm totally in like with you for coming down here. You are awesome. Please love me back! I know, I know, I shouldn't be all needy, it's not attractive at all, but you don't know how it is to be stuck down here. Who scrolls all the way to the end of a page anymore these days? Anyway, thanks for shedding some light down here in the depths. I appreciate it. Shoot me an email and I'll send you a dollar, OK?
