I’ve been laughing about this for hours, so I thought I’d share…
Back story: I’ve seen some mice in our garage lately. They sneak in around the edge of the overhead door bottom seal. Last weekend I bought some sticky traps and deployed them just inside the door on each end. Within 24 hours, I had caught 4 mice and I haven’t seen any since. The Mrs. knew about my success, but didn’t want to know the gory details.
I stopped her from feeding birds a few years ago, because it was attracting mice and chipmunks and they were getting into the garage. She had a bunch of leftover black oil sunflower seeds in a metal garbage can with a metal lid. I put a bungee cord over the lid so the vermin couldn’t get into it. I didn’t know it, but she put the seeds in a garbage bag about a month ago and planned to give them away. Instead of putting the bag back in the can, she put a twist tie on the bag and set in on the garage floor.
This morning: The Mrs. was outside putting away her garden stuff and I was inside cleaning up the kitchen. She walked in and barked out, “DUDE”!!!
I turned and looked at her. She was wearing her Carhartt jacket, gloves and a watch cap and was holding the broom we keep in the garage. She had her other hand on her hip. She was trying to look PO’d, bit I could tell it was all she could do not to laugh.
I was really tempted to say, where you flying off to, but I wisely kept my mouth shut. She broke out laughing and asked if I’d been killing mice with the end of the broom handle. BUSTED!!!
I didn’t want the little rodents to suffer a slow and lingering death, so I bludgeoned their little mice brains in with the end of the handle. Yup, I should have cleaned the stick stuff and the mouse blood off before I put it away.
Happy Thanksgiving to all, except the rodents!
