ARGH! Yuk! ARRRRGH!

Dead mouse floating in the toilet.

ACK!

Seriously, it was just so dead. We know that my cats are Mighty Mousers, so from time to time I have to pick a dead mouse up off the living room floor, and it’s kinda gross, but not so bad.

But something about the floater? Just exuded death. It took me like three tries before I could force myself to get it out. I was shaking.

Arthur said, “Well, your day can’t get any worse.”

I hope he’s right.

    Not to continue the gross-ossity, but why didn’t you just flush?

    That is NOT something I want stuck in my pipes.

    Have you ever read or heard “Nuit of the Living Dead” by David Sedaris? It might help you process the grossness.

    I’m sorry, but I can imagine the cats cursing you for ruining perfectly good mouse tea.

    Once I found a live mouse in my toilet.

    In the middle of the night.

    Fortunately, I was able to just leave it alone.

    Mingo: “You know what would really freak Mom out?”

    Fanty: “YEAH!!!! Let’s do it!!!!”

    Or…

    Mingo (staring into toilet bowl): “Whoops. It slipped.”

    Fanty: “No worries. Mom will get it later.”
