Of Mice and Men

Posted in Memories at 11:17 am by tara

I remember going to the Galleria for the day in 5th grade with Lucas and Summer Weaver. We had so much fun. The three of us went to the pet store to look around, and Lucas decided it would be a good idea to buy a little white mouse. So they sold a 10 year old child a mouse in a little cardboard house. We were so excited, until the truth set in. Lucas said, “What was I thinking? My parents won’t let me have a mouse.” Now, all of a sudden, we were in a predicament~ pet stores don’t take mice back. “Oh, no!” We thought. I think the pet store employees felt bad for us, so they decided that he could return it, but just not get his money back. Good enough for us, and the parents were none the wiser.
