They\u2019re ba-ack! Little Mickey and Minnie, fresh out of food in the fields and shivering in their boots once the temperature dipped below freezing, invaded the garage last week.<\/p>\n

As per their fall routine, the Goldilocks imitators left Hiram\u2019s truck alone.<\/p>\n

Too hard.<\/em><\/p>\n

They turned up their shiny black noses at Grandma\u2019s more luxurious sedan.<\/p>\n

Too soft.<\/em><\/p>\n

But the sight of my little white economy car set their ears to quivering.<\/p>\n

Just right!<\/em><\/p>\n

With that, they moved in, creating a mess that did Goldilocks proud. In addition to their deplorable bathroom habits, they gnawed through the handle of a cloth shopping bag and chewed the corners off the AAA pamphlet. Obviously, they don\u2019t care about the environment or keeping women drivers safe on the road.<\/p>\n

Inconsiderate beasts.<\/p>\n

I told the resident mighty hunter (aka Hiram) about the new tenants, and he laid a trap line. So far, a half dozen mice have met their spring-loaded maker. I half expected one of them to have golden hair, a porridge mustache and a sleepy expression. But they were all normal, run-of-the-mill critters with limited fairy tale potential.<\/p>\n

The little car wreckers.<\/p>\n

Since turning our garage into a death factory, Mickey and Minnie have left my car alone – except for one night when one of them sneaked in to eat the bait off the trap on the floor of the back seat. Grrr! But the next morning, when I backed the car out of the garage, the trap in the middle of my parking place sported a smug-faced corpse.<\/p>\n

Served him right.<\/p>\n

Sunday, I felt sure we had overcome the Disneyland invasion. So, I vacuumed my car, shined the windows, and washed the dash board. So, everything\u2019s still clean. It better stay that way, or I\u2019m putting an open jar of peanut butter in bed of Hiram\u2019s truck and lining the sides with plastic army guys. They\u2019ll have shoot to kill orders for anything that moves and wears mouse ears.<\/p>\n

I mean business!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
