Unknown fact about mice and Christmas lights… when they eat the wires they get an electric high, which has nothing but a state of ecstasy and no dangerous side effects… Another fun fact about mice and Christmas lights: if a mouse has consumed mouse poison, and they immediately realize this calamity and chew on Christmas tree wire, they will be OK.
Scientists don’t know this. Veterinarians don’t know this. Animal rehabbers don’t know this. No single human knows this.
And the mice laugh and laugh in our basements every time the humans talk about being the most intelligent species.
Imagined when my world felt it was crumbling. Then to top things off, we had a mouse infestation. Written when I had a moment to breathe and reflect. Imagination will always be my favorite exit door.
