We were playing around outside and Grandpa pointed out a dead mouse in the driveway. Kaylee of course reached right down to pick it up when Grandpa and I shouted "NO!!" at her. The way Robin Williams and Bonnie Hunt did in Jumanji when Peter and Judy's parents said they were thinking of going on a ski trip. I don't really want her to get in the habit of picking up dead animals.
I grabbed a pair of pliers, picked up the mouse by the tail and headed for the garbage. Kaylee of course was there to meet me, blocking the trash can telling me I couldn't throw it away. I explained to her yet again the mouse had died and we had to throw it away. Her only response was, "It don't want to have died."
Kaylee, acting like Jordan's daughter and the 3 year old that she is, looked up at the sky and exclaimed, "AIRPLANE!" I turned around to see a contrail and used this as my opportunity to throw the mouse away. She still hasn't asked me what happened to the mouse.
