Yes, yes, yes. There is something wrong with me up there!!! I love children, as long as they aren't mine!
I love going over to my friends and relatives homes. Spend time with their children, spoil them, teach them rubbish, teach them cursory whymes, play with them and then go back to my clean and perfect home.
While the parents of those little rascals, can put away the toys, clean poop, clean some more poop, feed them, clothe them, clean some more poop, rush to the hospital in the middle of the night because a child decided to run into the wall and then require stitches, get completely paranoid every time the baby farts, or doesn't fart and then spend more of their life cleaning poop.
So that's why I don't have kids :D
I didn't really want to know - it was a play on your comment - haha. Cursory whymes!! Love it. Your clean and perfect home with mouses reading Kafka? I can imagine them with their little spectacles.
I know. But that was a rant waiting to happen :D If you live in India and are regularly asked, why no marriage, children and settling down, the rant is always at the tip of your tongue!
The spectacle wearing mice, pointed out, they were mice and not mouses :D These mice are terrible I tell you, they make my life miserable with their penchant for dotting the i's and crossing the t's.
ahahahaha - So, sometimes people might say 'mouses' or 'meeces' if they are being silly, especially if they are being cute, or mimicking little children excited about a cute thing.
Like: EEEEEEEEEKKKK - Look at that ALL THOSE little ickle weenie MEECIE MOUSES!!! Wearing SPECTACLES!! Reading Kafka! And look at their wickle MONOCLES!
Bureaucratic mice!! I can see that, yes, with their nose in the air, reading Russian literature and drinking teeny cups of tea. The rats are more anarchists, listening to punk rock and swigging whiskey straight from the bottle - those tiny bottles you buy on trains or planes.
And you have the makings of your next horror story right there. The Anarchist Rat vs The Bureaucratic Mouse. How is that going to be horror you might wonder.
The same way forgetting to pick up your wife is every man's worst nightmare :D
I do think you can write it in a much better and funnier way than me!
