Haha. . .not my house! Only mouse you'll find here is Babymouse, the book series.
We were shopping the other day at a large superstore in town when all at once my middle one said "There's a mouse up there!" I didn't believe her until I saw this little grey blob of fur scurry across the aisle and into the kids' clothing department. A worker in the store saw it when we did and she went to track it. We saw it dart under a display but then we lost it.
I refrain from saying which store we were in because it really doesn't matter which store it was. Anytime you have a large store that sells any kind of food items, well, mice will happen.
For us it turned into a funny little discussion about how maybe we could capture him and take him home as a pet and maybe he would be able to give our youngest chef some cooking instructions--just like Remy, the little mouse in Ratatouille.
Have no fear. It was only a lighthearted discussion. We left the little grey mouse behind. And I have to say that I am so glad that none of the other shoppers seemed to even see the little mouse. I'm certain that some people would have blasted the store for a mouse being visible. But truly, it can happen anywhere. And who's to say that it wasn't a little Remy?
