close encounters of the worst kind

last night (or was it the night before last?), i had just sat down on the toilet and was in a very compromising position when suddenly a big grey mouse ran in under the door and did a couple circles around my feet while i sat there screaming and completely unable to run away or do anything about it. then he quickly scurried away and disappeared while i pulled my pants up and ran to the nearest chair from which i could yell at luuk to come to my rescue with the broom.

yesterday i bought four new mouse traps. and my new secret weapon: butter.

so far, no halfdead mouse stuck between wood and wires, though the trap did snap in the middle of the night and the butter was gone when i checked in the morning.

the mouse frightens you... but you have a pet rat?

wild mice have diseases and bite and arent tame and cute and cuddly like my pet. totally different.
and no animal is pleasant when you dont expect it and when you ware sitting on the toilet.

butter? I thought peanut butter was supposed to be the thing. Besides, it's stickier!
