If you give a girl a mouse....

Holy cow I would be so happy. Back when I was in 2nd grade, I desperately wanted a pet of my own that I could take care of and call mine. My family had cats and dogs, but they were the "family pets". Not my own. My parents suggested a rat or mouse, and upon further investigation, decided a rat would be easier. Mice are super small and can get out of their cages and hide places in the house. So I was content with the rat for a while. But the mice are just so much cuter!!! My sister promised me that when she went to college, she would buy me a white and tan mouse. I'm not sure why she had to wait until college, considering the fact that mice cost around $4. But I think we thought they were much rarer than they actually are. My sister just finished up her Master's this summer. I'm still sitting here mouse-less.

Oh my goodness it is so cute! Actually, I'm not entirely sure it's that cute. I think the hype that I've built up over the years makes it look much cuter.
