MOUSE SIGHTING

Twas the night (or 5 nights before Christmas) when all through the house

not a creature was stirring (we were all asleep from the boring BYU game) except for the mouse

Sick, sick, sick! I hate mice. Not as bad as I hate snakes, but I still hate them. Stupid rodents.

So there we were at the 'rents watching the miserable BYU bowl game (seriously cougars what is WRONG with you!?!) and all of a sudden a mouse runs from the TV stand to the Christmas presents under the tree. Brandon saw it first and bolted behind his mom. Keep in mind Brandon is 22 YEARS OLD! Cortney was all worried that the mouse was getting into his presents so he got a stick and a shoe to kill it (ya right he is a wuss...a greedy wuss who was more worried about his presents than his 22 year old brother who was hiding behind his mom). Dad, the only man in the family (besides Clayton who calmly watched and laughed at the whole event from his place on the couch) jumped down to kill it with his bare hands...which he DID. Sick, sick, sick! Once he killed it and picked it up throw it away Cort ran up the stairs screaming. Keep in mind that this brother is 24 YEARS OLD!!! Dad proceeded to chase both of my brothers around the house with the dead mouse. At one point Cort ran out the door with no shoes and stayed out there for 10 minutes, all the while peaking in the windows to see if it was safe. Brandon locked himself in the bathroom (ok I'll admit it I was scared too so I locked myself in the bathroom with him) and peaked under the door to see if he could see dad's feet outside the door. Then dad threw the mouse under the door and Brandon (ok and myself) ran out screaming. It was quite the event.

Sick! I don't know why I put that picture on here. I can hardly stand to look at it!

Brandon locked in the bathroom (and me...standing on the toilet) looking to see if it is safe.

The humor of the mouse situation "almost" made up for the awful, AWFUL football game...almost!
