Mouse Trap
6-7-10 Monday 10:30 A.M.
I ran out of mouse traps and the little vermin crap all over the kitchen and elsewhere. So, I took a 12 inch wood shim with a dab of peanut butter on one end, then balanced it on the edge of the kitchen counter, hoping it would walk the plank. And underneath, was a deep empty kitchen garbage can.
But this mouse is an olympian jumper, because 4 times I set the trap, and 4 times all I found in the bottom of the garbage can, was the peanut butter shim. But this time Danny wins the battle. This makes number 10 and now I am a double mousing ace.
I’m holding it up by the tail and Marcie sounds amused – wants me to keep it and build a mouse maze.
