When you have a mouse, you really have mice. We found a dead one (thank you, mouse poison) in the backyard today, and Billy found another in the basement. Tonight we heard one in the wall, RIGHT HERE, next to the computer. I actually heard it squeak and now I know why people are afraid of mice.
While I was putting Isla to sleep, Billy was fashioning a makeshift blow dart to execute the parasitic Ritz thieves, and even though I do not understand his blood lust, I think the method is freaking hilarious. He is in the basement as I write, hunting.
Along the same lines . . .
Billy was tossing the dead mouse into the trash today and Liam was watching. Liam said:
Dad, why is the mouse so tired?
Billy took this opportunity and taught him his second (we had a dead fish) lesson on life/death/resurrection. Billy said:
Well, Liam, sometimes mice get tired and go live with Heavenly Father. Their bodies stay here and then later on, many years from now, they get their bodies back and we all live together with Heavenly Father.
Liam thought for a moment, then said:
Dad, I have an idea (this "idea" business is his new favorite phrase to use). How 'bout you throw Memum (Liam) away and I go live with Heavenly Father and be with the mouse?
I don't know what Billy said after this, I actually wasn't there, but I made sure to tell Liam that there would be no throwing away of children and he would have find a new (stuffed) mouse to be friends with.

I love his new "I have an idea" thing. He said that a couple times when he was here while you were in California. He's so funny! And his ideas are quite good!
When Mom and I were in Eugene we had a rat in the house. It ran across our bed. Now I am terrified of rats. It is the one thing I fear above all else. Anyway I caught him in the garbage can. I opened the slammed on the lid and opened it a tiny bit and he stuck his nose out trying to get out. I screamed bloody murder. I got some gas for the lawnmower and poured it into the garbage can. I cracked the lid a tiny bit and threw in the match. The garbage can exploded throwing the lid 20 feet into the air just past my nose. No more rat.
