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. What have you done? The poor mouse walked up to you to get fed and BAM!!! The poor little guy got smashed.

Good for you OP! No one wants the plague in their house, and maybe the teacher will have the sense to ask for a permission slip before sending your kid home with vermin.

Poor mouse =( and why was it out of its cage?

If you don't kill mice around your home they could find mates and infest your house. Been there, done that don't want to do it again. it was horrible.

Yeah well, next time try scorpion infestations. Those are fun. But yeah, my first reaction to any being within my house that doesn't belong is to remove it, or... End... It.

No thanks. You win. And yes, thank you. Everyone is saying that she shouldn't have killed it has probably never had an infestation....

It's true they MIGHT infest your house. It's also true that a dog MIGHT bite you, a cat MIGHT scratch you, a horse MIGHT throw you off, a homeless guy MIGHT mug you. You don't hate dogs, cats, horses, or other human beings do you? And what's wrong with releasing it somewhere there's no houses around? Killing is not always the answer.

I didn't say I hate mice I'm just saying that if she had to, yes kill it. I understand trapping and letting go, believe me I've done it but it seemed the FML was a quick decision. Which also makes sense quick-killing in case you have a baby because mice carry diseases.

I can understand your point of view, but I just don't get how anyone can kill an animal, mouse or not. I've had pet mice before, I know it's not quite the same as a wild mouse but a mouse is an animal and I hate to see any animal suffer. I get that an infestation is not very pleasant, though, and I can see your point of view.

Mr. Whiskers walked "The Green Mile".

Buy another mouse and I doubt that anyone else needs to know

Mr Whiskers has had his last bit of cheese, bit his last grubby little finger. His little exercise wheel shall spin no more. The last thing he saw in this world was a big check and the word NIKE. He was confused so he just stood there.

If it were a rat, you probably might have killed Remy from Rataouille

Your son should have told you he was bringing the class pet home, but then again, you shouldn't have killed it.
