I’m going back a few years now, before I met Hubby, and to a previous relationship.
We’d settled down for the night, and I heard scratching.
Partner told me to go to sleep, but the scratching intensified and I told him I thought we had a mouse in the bedroom.
He flicked on the light, had a brief look around once his eyes had adjusted, then told me I was being silly, and switched the light off again.
Five minutes later, the scratching resumed, and to his annoyance, I nudged him and told him there was definitely a mouse in the room.
The light went on again, and he actually got out of bed this time to look.
‘Nothing!’ he said, and getting back into bed, turned out the light.
I was convinced though that we had a mouse and at the sound of scratching, I turned the light on myself and told him to find it.
He was not happy. He was not impressed. He did not find anything.
He was however quite angry by now (at me) and told me to get to sleep.
Lying there next to him, light from the clock radio was sufficient for me to see something moving on the bottom of the bed.
I kicked him and told him the mouse was on the bed, to which he furiously replied that my mind was full of mice, so much so that I had convinced myself there was a mouse when there wasn’t.
I put the light on just in time for the pair of us to see a little mouse jump off the bed and disappear behind the wardrobe.
Our neighbours heard the scream (not mine) as he threw himself out of bed, and armed with a slipper started to whack anything and everything in sight that was in close proximity to the wardrobe.
He eventually got a lucky strike, and poor mousey was no more.
With the bedding wrapped around me, I was in hysterics on the bed.
Not that I was afraid, but just the ridiculousness of the situation.
It wasn’t so much that we’d been playing Morse Code with the light switch for the last half hour, but the fact that he’d been charging round the bedroom stark naked, in all his dangly glory.
ha ha ha ha! I did not expect that ending!
Man or Mouse takes on a whole new meaning doesn’t it?

It was funny, though he didn’t think so!

Cute π
Must admit it’s worth a read for the cheeky bit at the bottom!
I may have fallen right out of bed laughing. Which probably wouldn’t have improved the situation. I take it that Partner wasn’t amused with your hysterics? π
Oh Melanie. It was just SOOOOOO funny!
No, he was not impressed, amused or even titivated, which made me laugh even harder!
Hilarious! But no wonder he was sensitive about the situation! The thought of receiving an exploratory nibble fills me with horror.
Ha! The mouse was facing the opposite direction when he walloped it.
That must have been a sight! I bet it keeps you smiling all week!
I did feel sorry for the mouse though.
Reblogged this on anita dawes and jaye marie.
thanks for the reblog. It should raise a few smiles with your readers.
Really funny, although I felt sorry for the poor mouse.Perhaps he died laughing too…if he peeped behind him that is! x
It was sad for the mouse, and I wish Partner had decided to try and catch it, though what he may have used for bait……………………. π
Ohh my God. It’s hilarious!!! Though I feel sorry got the mouse, the whole scene sold have been hilarious! That last line though. ππππ
It was funny……. well from where I was sitting.
πππ
Poor mouse. But the rest of the scene got me laughing. I can imagine you were in giggles for quite some time afterwards. π
Even now at the memory and it’s over thirty years ago!
