Awwww, I thought; Look at that. This thing that I at first thought was a dust ball on my bedroom floor--not an uncommon thing--turned out to be a baby mouse, a mousita, so young that it had not even opened its eyes.
AWWW, I thought again.
And then I realized that this little helpless thing would in a very few weeks be a big mouse and be searching for food in the kitchen at night and eating holes in t-shirts in my closet plus all the disasters I have not discovered yet.
So I gently placed it on a dustpan and tipped it out in the jungle.
