We were standing with Adam, waiting for a table at Travis’s favorite sushi restaurant, Fugaku.
“I’ve got a good one for you, Adam. Cheezits seem to be the snack food of choice lately, and we’re all eating out of this one box from our nifty food cupboard. However, I know I am the last one to have any, and I’m thinking to myself as I bite down, darn these things are soggy, which makes no sense given how quickly they’re consumed.
Two days after my last Cheezit, Diane pulls the box out of the cupboard, and then the wax paper-like bag out of the box, and plops it on the counter. I’m standing a few feet away and I glance back at the bag and see something small and dark nestled among the orange. My brain begs to process the small and dark as something, anything, other than a dead mouse, but fails. Of course Diane then asks the question I didn’t want to hear, ‘What killed the mouse?’ I figure that’s what’s going to kill me.”
Adam sensing my anxiety, charitably responds, “We know what the mouse died from. He caught old-age from Mike.”
Gaak! What killed the mouse? Too many cheezits!
Posted by rakkity.HEY! What the @&x%$!! happened to our plan to sell you my G4 so I could get a G5...........?
Posted by charitable.A dead mouse in the cheese it box. I'm surprised it wasn't photo'd for prosperity. Who knew mice ate cheese substitutes. Fedex delivered both our computers the same way. One in the dead of winter left on a snow bank by the back door.
Posted by grossedout.I think the idea is to sell me your computer so you can stay current with Matthew.
And, yes, it probably was the Cheezits, but know this, Diane has lost all interest in them. It's now all candy corns, all the time.
You know, I thought about taking that photo, but at the time I didn't think I was going to have to stoop so low as to reveal how truly unhygienic our house is. Then the ominvorous blog called.
P.S. Whatever happened to the Sox lead?
