My sister had jokingly sent me an email saying that it perhaps was this creature:
Which it is not. But that jerboa thing? Weird. Never heard of one of those before.
So today during naptime I was
POSSUM.
I think I'm really grossed out.
And yet strangely intrigued.
I called all the kids over to verify and they said YES!! That's our mouse!!
Then I showed them what it would grow up to look like and they were a bit alarmed. Duchess said, "Um, but it died, right? That thing is not in the yard, right?"
Ack.

UGH! *shivering*
People here eat those. We don't. I don't want to hear your comments though :) Funny story- we live in an old house that is up off the ground so you hear footsteps and noises easily. Luke used to work out of town a lot when we first moved here and I was alone. One night, I was sleeping and heard a noise on the porch. I was SO SCARED. It sounded like footsteps and then there was banging on the door.
I called my parents and 911 on my two seperate phones. The police got there and poked around with thier flashlights and guns. After about 5 minutes or so, they knocked on the door and told me that a gigantic possum was in the yard and they were sure he had been up on my porch. His little prints were all over! I was so emberrassed and grossed out.
The End.
Yep, in Louisiana that and a squirrel would be a feasting good time.....mmm! But not at my house, my mom is a New Englander and has more sense that that to actually let us eat something like that!
And you touched that thing!! Ewwww!!!
I feel your pain... our cat left a nice dead mouse on top of the recycling can for me today. Atleast it was small and not a huge possum.
