Careful now....front page news item in the El Paso paper today...Parents
demand an apology from teacher that steps on mouse!
A teacher's pet mouse got away in the school a couple of weeks ago, and
yesterday another teacher found it in his classroom. He tried to pick it up,
got bitten for his trouble, and when he saw the kids trying to pick it up,
was afraid one of them would get bit, so he solved the problem by stomping
the mouse into mousey heaven.
Now one of the little girls is devistated at his action according to her
father and he wants a public apology.
He'll be lucky if the teacher doesn't sue the mouse owning teacher, the
school, the district, each school board member, and the parents of each kid
that tried to catch the mouse.
So be carful about your traps, the mouse you kill may devistate a
child..............
