You are the optimist, aren't you?

Repeat after me: Mice don't leave.

*******!

Now, I'm not saying this to be mean. If you had one mouse, you have
more. You need to keep your trap set, and perhaps think about
releasing the rodents *far* from your house. They will just come
back in. Me, I'm all for the death traps. I know that sounds mean,
but I can't have those things taking over my house.

Thanks for the funny story.
