...More like one big fat one that WAS inhabiting the space underneath my fridge and eating my better biscuits.
Proof?
Apparently mice also enjoy hand soap as a fine delicacy.
Act 1: Scene 1Courtney Vs. Mouse
I can't tell you how SERIOUSLY effective these brooms are. It's crazy. They're made out of coconut leaves. The Fijian people are amazing at using the resources they have at hand. For example every part of the coconut tree is used for something: coconuts- obviously for eating, the coconut shells- used for drinking grog, leaves- brooms and also for things with underground fire cooking aka lovo's, the husks- used in wetland areas to soak up liquids.

Apparently mice also enjoy hand soap as a fine delicacy.Act 1: Scene 1Courtney Vs. Mouse
-Courtney wakes in the middle of the night to something scurrying along her bedframe climbing her nightstand/modified desk.
-Courtney is pissed. AND tired.
-Courtney puts in hear earplugs and chooses not to hear the mouse eating everything in sight.
And something I just noticed that gave me quite a giggle is how the brooms here look like Harry Potter broomstick's! woohoo! Actually the one in the pic below is a newer and not so beaten up one.-Courtney is pissed. AND tired.
-Courtney puts in hear earplugs and chooses not to hear the mouse eating everything in sight.
Scene 2:
-Courtney arises in the morning to find all her biscuits gnawed at (btw cookies are known as biscuits here...damn that British colonization)
-She searches for any potential rat holes, finds where she thinks they came from and plugs them up.

Scene 3: It's Go-Time
-On the morning Courtney was planning on buying some rat poison (after arising yet again to more biscuits broken into), she is suddenly distracted. By what you ask? by the rumbling that's going on beneath her fridge.
-'Ha HAH' She thinks, and actually says outloud 'It's Go-Time Mouse!'
-Knowing that the mouse will more than likely NOT run out the wide open back door but will probably want to run into her room, she blocks off the hallway with boxes and wood.
-She very quickly removes everything off the floor that would make a new home for this parasite and grabs the broom.
-With a few quick swishes underneath the fridge, a giant mouse scurries out from underneath, and (as predicted) makes a getaway to her room. He's suddenly smashes into the excellently crafted wall and heads back towards the fridge. Courtney dashes in it's way to block it and makes 3 quick swipes with the broom (screaming the whole time of course). On the 3rd flick the mouse is flung out the door, leaving Courtney's house in peace (and with a half gnawed soap bar).
