so it had to be done
we woke up two morning in a row
and found mouse poop
all over the counter
it was a good reason to disinfect the kitchen
but we took it one logical step further
we set the mouse traps that were under our sink
that should've been our first clue
that we had mice
our apt came with mouse traps
so we took brian's advice and dolloped some peanut butter
we came home to mr. mouse
the mouse trap had him upside down in a choke hold
lauren was visibly upset
and i admit
i was too
we want them gone
but we don't want them to suffer
or really to die
i don't not like mice
i guess we could buy a mini have-a-heart
maybe we will
but we already did it
this little guy was probably cold and hungry
found a hole in a big barn
wandered in to keep warm
saw that someone left some food out
life ended
so i guess if we will consciously murder mice
we should make sure they are remembered
so here's to you little guy

I think it was Denise or Brian and Lindsay who told us of a different way to catch mice. Take a a paper towel tube and place it on your counter, half on half off. Put peanut butter in the end that's off the counter, and put a trash can under it. The mouse will unsuspectingly go through the tube to get the peanut butter, and his weight will cause him and the tube to fall into the trash can. Then, when you get home you can drive him somewhere away from your house, and set him free.
