The $500 Mouse.
So my mom is driving her car around this week, and about Wednesday, she starts smelling the rank and dasterdly smell of a rotting carcass. She turns on the air conditioning in the car to clean the smell out till she can find where it’s coming from, only to get blasted by a major wave of the odor twice as bad from before. The mouse was in the car, not the driver’s side or the passenger’s side or any side you can ride in for that matter. The mouse had crawled into the engine of the car and got inside the air conditioning system and bit the wrong wire. Thats where the smell was coming from. The mouse had messed up some parts biting the wire and the mechanics had to spend two days trying to find the source of the putrid smell. The irony of the situation is this: my mom keeps her car clean as a whistle and i don’t. We park literally ten feet from each other and I have old bits of food and and who knows what in my car. I can never have passengers in my backseat do to the sizable amount of coffee cups i throw around. Yet, that mouse chose the pristine car to kick the bucket in. It was a interesting story to hear, but kind of sad to see that amount of money down the drain just due to a creature no larger than a credit card. However, I must say no matter how bad the mess gets, mouse or otherwise, Enjoy It!

Oh my goodness, that’s disgusting and yet oddly funny. We have a mouse problem at our house during the Winter, and they always seem to come out when our kitchen is cleanest (as evidenced by the “presents” they leave us in the morning)!
