Yes. We had a mouse. I'm embararrased to post it here, but if I don't then I can't tell you about the funny events that followed.

Mike and Jenny were here and we were just relaxing after the kids went to bed and the little pipsqueek just ran across the hall. Jenny spotted him! He was perfectly comfortable paying our guests a visit.

We scoured the house and cleaned every nook and cranny, but couldn't find him. Mark came back from the store with a small arsenal of gear to catch the mouse.

The mission was a success! The next day Mark declared that we had caught the mouse. Here is the conversation that followed:

Ben: Can we see it?

Mommy: No, honey, it's dead and it's pretty sad to see.

(A few minutes go by while the kids are deep in thought......)

Ben: I think I should see it, mom. I need to say a prayer for him.
