Mouse!

I went to the street one block over tonight to bring L in for dinner. She was at her friend, B's, house, hiding something behind her back. Eventually, she showed me a plastic container with a baby mouse in it. She and her friend were ooing and aaahing over how cute it was (it was kind of cute) and they decided they had to keep it overnight. L wanted to bring it home, but I said mice don't need help getting in these old houses. B's dad found an empty lizard cage to House the mouse overnight.

So how did L catch a mouse? Apparently, it was being chased by a cat from another friend's yard. Somehow, L got a container and it walked right in. B's dad joked that L would be a great contestant on "Survivor." B's block is having a block party tomorrow (she already invited L) and I'm sure the baby mouse is going to be a big hit among the kids. We'll see how long it survives.
