Today, something ran across my foot while I was on the toilet. Hearing me scream, my husband ran in. We now have a new "pet" mouse named Jerry that I am not allowed to kill under threat of divorce. FML
Hey, this is the OP. I have owned rats and mice as pets, but with a wild one you really don't want them running loose around a toddler.
As for getting a cat, I have been trying to get a kitten for my son, but our landlord wants a huge deposit.
We are buying a humane trap and letting him go somewhere far away. We have temporarily plugged the hole he was using to get in until payday.
My husband was jokingly threatening. He is just a big softie sometimes. :)
We got a good laugh out of this, before I realized it was a mouse I ran screaming out of the bathroom
with my pants around my knees.
Glad everyone got a laugh out of this, we did!
