For some background-Dad's house got pretty badly flooded when a pipe in his ceiling burst this winter after weeks of 30 below windchills and almost as cold temperatures. He's only now been able to settle up on stuff and is in the process of tearing apart what's left of the damaged rooms. So his stuff is going into the undamaged rooms, whereever it'll fit. A favorite storage place is the drawers in my dresser
So, today I was doing a little reorganizing in my room to fit *more* junk in there. Opened up a dresser drawer to find what looked like a makeshift animal nest. Right behind it was a paper roll of drawings my grammy and I made when I was 2. Sticking out of that roll of drawings was a TAIL. Yeah I screamed. So we caught the mouse in the trap, and went into my room to clean out the nest. Discovered it was made up of bits of carpet and a beanie baby that the mouse had chewed to shreds.
It gets worse. Once that nest had been vaccummed up I opened up another drawer. Found some more nest and started vacuming. Moved aside a t-shirt to vacum the rest of it, and found 4 BABY MICE, curled up on top of another t-shirt. Needless to say, the shirt above and below them, along with the babies got thrown away (they're just a day or 2 old, they can't move yet, can't chew through the trash bag). Got the whole dresser cleaned out, and started packing some cd's away in there. Was walking into my room again with another handfull of cd's when I saw a mouse peeking out from underneath my bed. Still hadn't been trapped when I came home to mom's tonight.
So all of this is gross; I've got 2 questions-
Why did they pick my room for their mating pleasures?
and Why did they have to choose my Mickey t-shirt to have the babies on???!!!
