Thoedore.

We have this amazing couch in our dorm that I love to take naps on. It’s one of the ugliest couches that I’ve seen, but at the same time it has this marshmallow quality about it that makes nap time a dream come true. For some reason I’ve been immensely tired this weekend and have found myself in the comfort of my marshmallow couch all weekend. I’ve watched movies, taken naps, studied, and many more lazy things that I’m ashamed to admit.

This evening I was the only one in the house so took advantage of this quiet opportunity and finished up some reading for a few classes. I had just finished To Kill A Mockingbird when I heard what sounded like coffee brewing. I thought it was odd that no one was in the house, but the coffee was on. I stopped what I was doing and focused on the “coffee” for a little bit. As I was getting up to see what was going on in the kitchen I saw my two roommates at the window. They were about to come in and I motioned to them to be very quiet. When they came inside I filled them in on our quietness, “I think we have a mouse.” Brittany, one of my roommates, said that she had been hearing funny sounds lately as well and assumed the same. Danelle, who was also coming in the door with Brittany, ran to the back in fear of the little critter.

Britt and I, being the brave souls that we are, explored the situation. We pinpointed the sound to the corner. We opened up the bottom cool-corner-spinning cabinet and gave it a whirl. No luck; no mouse, no poop. Using my previous mouse experience I assume that he is living in the wall. I assured my roommates that he would most likely be dead within the week and will be able to confirm this with an abominable smell that will last a week or so. They weren’t too thrilled to hear this. We decided that it would be best to ask for a second opinion from maintenance. We also decided that if there is a little mouse living amongst us it would be best and polite if we named him. We found Theodore to be fitting.
