I have to share this one...
While Julie and I were getting ready for dinner; my Sister-in-Law
Sarah was holding Haleigh in the living room. As I was putting
plates around the table, I hear Sarah say to Nathaniel, "Why don't
you show your Mother your toy mouse. I thought about Nathaniel's
current toy inventory....I don't think we have a mouse toy....
Nathaniel walks up to Julie and shows her his mouse toy. "Mommy yook
at this!" Before you could say "De-Con", Julie let out a huge scream.
By this time I had finally figured out what had happened, and was now
trying to take the dead mouse "toy" out of the hands of a three-year
old child. Sarah screamed after she found out it was a real mouse...
Nathaniel had no idea what was going on when it was happening, but
now has a greater understanding concerning the traditions of
Halloween. I got a dead mouse out of the deal.
Happy Halloween!
