Mousetrap!

Dear Optimists,

Mice are cute and fun if they’re in a cage. It’s when they start running around the kitchen that they lose their appeal. I feel bad killing them, but once they invade my territory, it doesn’t matter anymore. They’re dirty and leave poop everywhere! So my dad lent me a trap that zaps them. What did they do? They somehow set off the trap and then stole the cracker with peanut butter! And not once but TWICE! So I had to resort to the old fashioned, Tom and Jerry traps.

After reading the directions, I set two and as I set the third one it snapped on my finger!

Ouch! They hurt!

Love,

Den

More often than not, people wonder what I'm up to. I'm a people watcher, and love to tell a stranger's story, as I see it. If you see me reading or writing in a coffee shop, there's a good chance I'm making up a story about you at that moment. I'm a visual person who loves finding inspiration in my surroundings, and believe that sometimes the smallest detail can tell the majority of the story, if you have the sense to recognize it.

  1. I don’t find mice cute and fun even when they’re IN the cage… Too many bad experiences as a child with the cats bringing mice into the house, methinks. They creep me out… 😐
