knee-highs in july

why am i wearing knee highs in july? 

because the small kid's toy 

at my bed side this morning 

that i kicked with my foot

was NOT a small kid's toy...

it was a MOUSE! 

{a half-dead mouse}

i shrieked!

jumped onto the bed,

hurdled michael

{who was now no longer sleeping}
to get to the other side of the bed
and as far away from the imposter as possible, 

and cried, "mouse! mouse!"

 

half-awake, michael asked, 

"what do you want me to do?"  

{are you kidding me!?!

save me!}

"get it out!" i pouted. 

still dozy, he asked, "how?"

i pushed my fears aside and came up with a rescue plan.

i took the pillow case off his pillow, 

threw it at him,   

and told him to use it to retrieve the revolting rodent.

 

without anymore hesitation 

{because i was full on freaking out and begging him to remove my tormentor}

my knight in shining boxers

saved his damsel in distress

from her fierce enemy.

so why am i wearing knee-highs in july? 

because i will never EVER go barefoot AGAIN! 

{can you guess which child picked out my socks for me?}
