Today, I came home to find a mouse in the garage. Frantic, I killed it. My 7-year-old son came home from soccer, and started crying because he couldn't find the class pet, Mr. Whiskers. I killed my son's class pet. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I had mice in the house and had to kill them with mousetraps. I pulled a trap out with a dead mouse and my four year-old son saw. Mice are his favorite animals, and now he won’t speak to me. FML
Today, I was at my boyfriend's house, meeting his family for the first time. We were all standing in the kitchen when suddenly a small white and brown mouse ran by. Out of natural instinct, I stomped on it. Turns out, it was his little sister's pet mouse that had gotten out of its cage earlier. FML
Today, I work as an assistant to a sculptor. We finished all our projects early so his wife decided to have me clean their kitchen. I wasn't paying attention and picked up a dead mouse. I screamed and threw it away as hard as I could. It hit their five-year-old son in the face. FML
Today, after I'd saved a baby mouse and was filming a YouTube series of me taking care of it, my boyfriend told me he found a “rat” in the kitchen, but not to worry he killed it and fed it to the cat. He killed my baby mouse, and now he’s mad I didn’t praise him for his brilliant extermination job. FML
Today, I woke up at 6 a.m. and went into the kitchen, where I saw a mouse in front of the fridge. Petrified, I stood in the doorway shooing it for a few minutes. My husband then walked into the kitchen, picked up the "mouse", and threw it in the bin. It was a used tea bag. FML
Today, I found a dead squirrel under my son's bed. Apparently, he has been keeping it there as a "pet" for the past week. FML
Today, I found a mouse in my kitchen. Wanting to go about it the humane way, I captured the little guy and released it outside. I then watched as a stray cat in my yard noticed and brutally murdered it. No good deed… FML
Today, I woke up to my disabled mother screaming for me. Fearing the worst, I hopped out of bed only to find that she was yelling because her cat had brought a field mouse inside as a gift. The problem? It was still alive. I had to get it from him and throw it outside. FML
Today, I found a mouse stuck in a glue trap at work. I had to take it home to get it off with oil, and then I released it outside. Twenty minutes later, the cat returned it to me, dead. After that, the dogs dug it up where I buried it. Sorry, mouse. FML
Today, I set up a mouse trap to kill the rodent plaguing my kitchen. While lying in bed, I heard an unmistakable snap, and ran to see what I'd caught. The mouse trap was missing. I now have a large, angry, and possibly dying animal running around my house. FML

The mouse wasn't asking for a cookie. You didn't need to kill him.

You deserved it, killing it was an overreaction. Too extreme. Trap and release.

You probably could have found a way to let the mouse out of the garage without killing it, like leaving a window or door open(While you were home and awake, of course), or trapping it under a bowl and moving the bowl outside and then releasing it.

Oh.. LOL! Sorry, OP! I thought you said you found a moose in your garage! xD I was just concerned with where the hell you live! Anyways, Don't feel too bad! It happens. If I saw wild mouse running around in my house, I might try to kill it too. Your son should have known to keep that sucker locked up! He also might have mentioned that he was bringing home an animal x_x

You could always say it some how escaped its cage and ran off. Not that you killed it. Mr. Whiskers is deadmau-se now.

Why isn't there a button that says "Your son, his entire class, and the pet didn't deserve this and you should feel horrible"?

I agree the pet and class didn't but OP shouldn't feel bad cuz their son shoulda A) Told the ******* parent of the house & B) kept it in a cage when he wasn't watching it

what the actual **** is wrong with you. its just a mouse. its not venomous, it doesnt kill you within 20 minutes of a bite. you are stupid, and should be ashamed.

That's horrible, but you had no way of knowing so it isn't your fault.
