Mom’s Mouse in the House Tale Has the Internet Cry-Laughing
There comes a point in every mom’s life where she has to do something unthinkable. A mom reckoning, if you will. For some, it may the first time you catch vomit in your bare hands. For others, it might have to do with poop (on the walls, perhaps?). For one mom, the moment came last week, in the form of a mouse. Laura Mazza, known as Mum on the Run on her blog, spun the rodent yarn on her Facebook page. And let’s just say, Laura and little Mickey had us all in stitches from laughter.

The “tail” began when Laura opened the door to her son’s room, and saw a mouse near her son’s dresser. She did what any of us would: she almost passed out, screamed at her toddler to stay out, and slammed the door.
She makes the completely rational decision to call her husband to come home and deal with it. Because according to Laura, her options were call him or burn the house down. Obviously.
“I decided to call my husband because there’s a mouse in the house, and when there is a mouse in the house other than blow torching the house down there isn’t much in the way of rational thinking.”

Her husband, for some odd reason, didn’t think leaving work to come home and remove the rodent was the best plan. He asks her where it is, and she peeks in the room again. To her horror, it’s dead. A DEAD MOUSE. Honestly, a blow torch seems logical at this point.
“Oh my lord the mouse is dead. I have a DEAD mouse in my house. I start to cry a little bit. It’s dead… it never had a chance to live its life.” Typical mom response, am I right?
Her husband tells her to get a piece of paper and scoop it up. So Laura downs some whiskey for liquid courage and storms the room. Only to discover it’s not a mouse. Not even close. It’s…A TINY TOY LEOPARD.
“I nod to myself and say we shall never tell a soul about this.”
Laura’s husband asked later how it went, and Laura told him “Mate, I handled that shit”. Because she’s a badass independent woman who can handle a mouse. And also because it was a tiny plastic leopard. But that’s our little secret.

Laura Mazza is no stranger to making the internet ROFL with her crazy stories. You may recognize her as the mom who let one rip during yoga. Whether she’s farting during inappropriate times, or “rescuing” her family from a mouse, we love that she shares these stories with us. Because let’s face it, we’ve all been there, in some way. And it’s nice not to know we’re not alone in our fear of inanimate, misidentified toys.
