Look what I found mom!
Posted by Kym under Things Kids Say
My three children just came bounding in from outside. They had only been outside less then 15 minutes. Noah, comes in… with something in his hand and exclaims: Look mom.. I found a baby mouse!
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!
That’s not a baby mouse. That’s a full grown mouse.
Luckily (?) it was dead.
Noah wanted to know how I knew it was dead.
Dinara wanted to know if we could do CPR.
Emma noted that rigor mortis had set in, so Mom was perhaps right, it was indeed dead.
They are now burying it in the front yard (so our dog doesn’t dig it up in the backyard) and Emma is going to make a RIP sign for “Squeaky”.
These are the memories I’m going to cherish one day right?

Maybe not memories that you will cherish, but certainly memories they will ummm..cherish. I remember burying my dear sweet goldie (The goldfish I killed when I put perfume in it’s tank)…it was such a sad moment in my life…but great fun to dig up 5 years later…LOL

You have your own personal Animal Planet. No need for expanded cable, now.

Mice are always so cute in children’s stories. In real life, not so much.

Ahhh…poor little mouse. Not that I would rellish seeing my kids hold it. Whoa! I’d go running. Reminds me of when my boyfriend’s dog in high school found a dead one so hard it crunched and he crunched it in front of us. Somehow blood managed to ooze before my boyfriend grabbed his dog and turned him upside down by his feet and swirled him with hopes he’d drop it. No luck…we ran off in horror! The dog was totally fine after just a horrific meal too. Uck!
