I seems to have a lot of things to talk about my childhood today. Actually it is nice to recall some of these stuffs before I turn senile and forgot to tell my children about them.

So here goes, the “When I was small” story that happened a long time ago. I lived in a rural place and there were lots of rats, mice and all sorts of animals, including snakes. I shall keep the snakey tales for another day. I have very little recollections of my childhood but I do remember the fun when my father was around. Whenever my brothers or sisters found mice in the house, all five of them would be chasing the mouse around to catch it. It was havoc and yet fun. Well at least to me because I was probably around five or six years old then.

Then, father died and those mice chasing fun no longer exist because my brothers had to go out and work and my sisters got married. We then catch mice with mousetrap. I am glad that they no longer make mouse trap like those which snapped and killed the mouse in one bloody mess. Do take a look at a more humane mouse traps. I like this idea because it is rather gory and violent to hit the poor critter, isn’t it? Check out what kind of mouse trap is available on the market now. You will be surprised.
