A poem and a recipe

Early this morning while I was meditating, a mouse ran up my stairs. I know Buddha had to deal with worse but it wasn’t cool. Alice (age 5) wrote a poem about it:

Mouse in the House

Mouses like crumbs,

But they are so tiny,

And mouses are bigger than crumbs.

Then Lucy made us a special breakfast. Alice doesn’t like butter right now so Lucy used a substitution. Here’s her recipe:

Chocolate cinnamon toast



chocolate sauce

sliced bread

Mix up the cinnamon and sugar sweet as you like it. Toast the bread. Spread the chocolate sauce on the bread. Sprinkle on the cinnamon sugar.

What do you do when you see a mouse?

  1. supposedly (this story is according to my mom), when i was little-little (2?), we had a mouse in our basement apartment, and I told mom to make a sign for the mouse, saying “mouses stay out of houses.” she went to put it on the door, and says i told her to put it down near the floor, so the mouse could read it.

    glad your girls respond creatively to mousey visits!
