Lice Equals Mice


 My sister called me up this morning and told me a story that all most had me pee my pants.  Allow me to put a smile on your face...

Judy's family had a lice epidemic about a month ago.  Lice protocol is not only to treat the infected hair by killing  the active bugs and picking out the eggs-called nits, but also to put all pillows, bedding, stuffed animals in a plastic garbage bag.  These items can be re-introduced back into their former abodes after 2  weeks have passed.  Yesterday, my brother-in-law was cleaning the garage out and found the bags and promptly re-introduced the long-lost-once-carriers-of-lice-but-hopefully-lice-free-now items back into the house.  Here comes the funny part-Bags were opened, pillows went back on beds, stuffed animals were reunited with their ever-loving humans and a mouse promptly scampered out of one of the bags and ran down the stairs.  My niece Michelle was the one that spotted him and called my sister hysterical, barely breathing from the terror of seeing this hideous vermin. The little dude is hiding out there somewhere.  

Which would you rather have infest your house-mice or lice-I choose none of the above!  And I think I will avoid their neck of the woods for awhile longer, thank you very much!

I'd rather have a mouse. And just to prove that statement, I have had a mouse, two, actually.

One evening the cats all seemed to be interested in something and we discovered that it was a mouse in our house! Euww! At least the cats are doing their jobs!
