MICE!!!

So, I've been hearing little noises in the wall, but when I run over to where the TV is, I can't find anything! I go to the TV, because there were mice in our house in New Orleans, and they liked to run behind the TV into a hole by the fireplace and go under the house. The mice are different here. I just figured out that they are in a space probabaly under the kitchen sink, but I made my mom think that they were getting into our computer room/laundry room by freaking out in the corner. OK, so I'm not perfect. They are right around there, though! I think they are living in the basement here, which is kinda like them being under the house in N.O. I will catch one eventually, and they will be so proud of me! I killed 2 of those little monsters when we lived in Readymade, and I used to love to chase things in New Orleans. I miss living there because of all the critters I could catch. I always ate roaches, and I killed a couple mice, but the best was that day I caught that lizard and really freaked out my dad!

I remember it like yesterday. It was shortly after Mike and Anika took me to live at their house with Meridian and Storm. They loved it when I caught bugs, and this one day I was out in the back yard minding my own business when I saw this scaly-skinned, long-bodied, meaty-lookin' green bug! I snatched him right up, and went to show my dad how good I was, but when he saw me, he wanted to take it! F**k that, I thought to myself, and I ran under the house. Just to show him, I ate it! He was trying to coax me out from under the house the whole time. First he was nice, then he yelled, then he pleaded, but I just sat under there out of reach and chewed on that big (but bitter) bug. He got my mom, and she told him not to worry about it. He was afraid I would get sick, but it was only a little one, and I felt fine. Later I figured I owed him an apology, so when I finished that thing, I came out and said "I'm sorry". He probably wanted some of it, and I hogged it all sitting under the house. That's why when I see those fuzzy grey bugs with the naked tails and funny teeth, I just kill them and leave them for him. He likes it better that way. I gotta' keep 'em happy!
