The Mouse Under the Thing

Pierre: Look what came out of the closet! It’s the mouse that lives under the thing!

Newton: Whoa! That’s scarier than the mouse that lives under the comforter of the bed.

Newton: You can have it. I don’t trust that thing.

Pierre: I don’t get it. Newton was standing over here, and it’s no scarier over here than it was over there. I’m going to get you, bad mouse!

    We had one of those things. The mouse died. We think it suffocated on its own.

    We are fascinated by anything that moves so I think (eventually) we would love that toy. Sorry Newton wasn’t any help.

    Pierre is a brave, go-getter!
    I think I’d be on Newton’s team….that thing would scare me, especially if it makes noise.

    Pierre, you are so funny. We have one of those, and Fiona loves to play with it. We’ve never seen her try your method, though. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
