Mouse

We have a mouse.

Two days ago, Joe bought a set of wooden mouse traps. He started out with one trap placing a piece of sliced cheese on the trigger and sliding it carefully onto the pantry floor. Fifteen minutes later the cheese was gone and so was the mouse. Then he tried two traps, one with sliced cheese, the other with peanut butter (did you know mice liked peanut butter??!). Less than an hour later, the cheese was gone, the peanut butter had almost disappeared and, again, the mouse was nowhere in sight. This went on most of the night.

Yesterday, Joe bought some fancy plastic traps. He was determined to get that mouse! No mouse was going to make him look stupid. He set both traps last night. One with cheese, and one with peanut butter. The mouse took both and left a message. Here is the conversation this morning after a night of determined effort to extinguish our house guest:

J-"He ate all the food again. He crapped on one of the traps."
T-"lol, Looks like you are his be-otch now."
J-"I don't know what I should be doing now. Should I keep trying to kill him or pay him the proper respect?
T-"LOL!
J-"We're just feeding him, you know. He eats all the food and then leaves. He'll probably start calling his friends and family over now. We should just start preparing his dinner with ours."

Poor Joe. He'll try again tonight. But if the mouse is still there in the morning I'm just going to head to PetSmart to buy it a bowl.

Well, we won't be needing the bowl anymore...not for that mouse anyway. Joe caught one but it turns out that he had a friend that was living in the pantry with him! Joe said, "we must have caught the stupid one." lol. One down, one to go!
