<p>They say you have to build a bitter mousetrap in order to catch mice. Well, in our last home it didn&#8217;t seem to work, because they just kept coming back. Sometimes, I think you just need to build more mousetraps. I guess they were just attracted to our food or something. It&#8217;s not like we had anything really great to eat. Just old spaghetti and flour. Nobody eats flour. It so bland. A lot less bland than these bitter friday giftures will be.</p>
<p><strong>At least we know duct tape&#8230;</strong></p>
