Don't Worry Mom

The kids were playing in the backyard. When I went out to check on them they excitedly told me; "mom, we found a mouse!"  They must have seen my horrified expression because Lincoln hurriedly went on to say, "don't worry mom, it was a dead mouse... AND I threw it over the fence!"  Rushing him to the sink to wash his hands, I asked Lyla, "did you touch it too?"  She said "yea, Lincoln said it was OK."   JUST GREAT!

We went over to the neighbors backyard and sure enough, it was a dead mouse. Then we washed hands some more!
