My dad dropped me down the Mariana Trench!
What?
And then I had to clean up the leaves. So I did and I found a dead mouse, and I kind of screamed, and put it down in the corner as fast as I could. And then my dad made me pick up the dead mouse.
What did you pick it up with?
A plastic bag.
Oh! The look on your face. So it wasn’t the Mariana Trench, was it? It was the window well.
Hey you took all the fun out of it!
Well, somebody had to go and get all the dead leaves out and you’re the perfect size. I’m sorry about the mouse. Was it big? Small?
It was like maybe this big.
Hmm, pretty small. Eww! It’s a good thing you got it out because what would have happened if you’d left the mouse there?
I don’t know.
Like on a hot day?
I don’t know.
That mouse would have started to smell bad and it’s right next to your brothers window isn’t it? In the basement.
Oh yeah.
Yeah. So you did a good thing. Thank you for getting the mouse out.
