I dont even share them with my kids.

About ten days ago I saw a mouse run across our dinning room and into the play room. I turned to Matt and said, "There is a mouse in the play room." (You should know he is a professional bug killer, and my personal hero.) He grabs his flash light and then goes in search of the rodent.

MJ- I didnt see anything
Me- Oh. Well it went from the kitchen to the playroom.
MJ- Well I didnt see anything.
Me- So is it safe to get off the table?

Shortly after our friend,Angie sees the mouse run under the couch I AM SITTING ON. Once she points this out I jump from the Couch to the coffee table and then in one  leaps to the kitchen table. (Eat your heat out Cirt-o-lea) Again the hubby gets out the flashlight and looks under the couch for the mouse....nothing. Well this chase goes on for a bit and then the mouse retreats back to his hole. The hubby sets traps and after a snap the mouse is not heard from again.

Tonight I am sitting at my computer and I see two mice running along the base boards of my kitchen. The are tiny, gray, fuzzy have this little expressive faces, round little ears, long little tails that seem to speak of there happy little night out on the town. Well the point is I like them. I never knew they were so cute. So I holler to Matt.

Me- "HONEY YOUR MICE ARE BACK"
MJ- "WHAT?!?"
Me "We have mice running around the kitchen, there are two of them, one went left of the stove the other right. They are kind of cute. I like watching them."

Matt comes down the stairs and says "What?" I again explain to him about the cute little mice and that he should probably do something about them.

Matt "Honey I know what I am doing."
Me "I know as I dont doubt your skill for a moment. I just thought you might need a 411 on there location of something, didnt you say you put something under the sink to catch them?"

Matt goes over and gets out the traps FROM THERE PACKAGE!!! I guess 2010 mice are very intelligent and sophisticated and get there traps out themselves these days.

Me-"Youre going to kill them?"
MJ -"yes"
Me-"what your going to kill them TONIGHT? I wanted to get some pictures, I think they are pretty cute."
MJ-"they carry diseases."
Me- "this is 2010 these arent the black plague carrying mice they are sweet little hungry rodents. They dont look like they would hurt a fly."

Matt goes to the cupboard to get peanut butter.
Me- "I thought they ate cheese?"
MJ- "No that is a myth."
Me- "Well dont use my Reduced Fat peanut butter thats mine."
MJ-"honey do you want me to kill the mice or not?"
Me-"Is there another option for Franklin and Templeton."
MJ-"You have named them?"
Me-"Do you like Frick and Fratt better?"
MJ-"No they are mice we are killng them!"
Me-"I was just thinking we might have some options."

Me-"Kill them dead, those are my cookies."
