"If You Give a Mouse a Muffin"

You know the saying, "If You Give a Mouse a Muffin"..........then he won't eat the mouse poison in the box on the floor.

Erin made muffins yesterday, but the tupperware we usually put the leftover muffins in was being used, so she resorted to putting the muffins in a plastic ziploc bag. Unfortunately she left the bag of muffins on the counter all night instead of putting them in the refrigerator. This morning we discovered a tiny hole at the end of the bag and part of a muffin had been swiped in the night.

The ironic part of this story is that we were just discussing the "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" and "If You Give a Mouse a Muffin" books just last night. (We were talking about this on a completely unrelated matter to our mouse problem - something about Erin not ever reading "good" children's books when she was little and John meeting the author of the "If You Give a Mouse..." books at his school library or something.) Anyway, the mouse must have overheard our conversation and decided muffins did sound good.

All the leftover muffins are now in the trash, and Erin has just finished thoroughly disinfecting the kitchen counters.
