<font color="purple">So I went to the pet store a few days ago, looking at the pets, I couldnt help but be enthralled by the little mice. You see, there were two mice running on the excercise whell, one would run faster then the other, so of course, the other mouse had to take a little trip upside down on the wheel. I felt a little sorry for the little mouse (it had to be scared!) but it was cute and funny too. For awhile, Ive been missing a furry companion (my mom has two cats, but its not the same because unless its during a vacation then Im not with them often) so I been wanting something like a mouse or gerbil or hamster. I had a guinea pig, but he grew too big and I was terrified of picking him up which made doing things like cleaning his cage difficult. I think with something like a hamster or gerbil or mouse though would be different because they are tiny!

So, leaving the pet store all excited, I went over to my mom who was waiting on a bench (were in the mall, you see) so I dragged her to see the pets (she was a bit reluctant though lol) and told her that if I had a mouse, Id want a white one and name him Charlie. She says I read Flowers for Algernon too much. (Well, it is my favorite book) I asked her how many times was too much, and she says it's too much when you want to have a white mouse and name it Charlie, I told her that I would name him algernon, but decided that was too big of a reference.

I'd ask my dad if I could have a mouse...but I'm sure he'd say no, and it's not like I can just buy everything and just show up, 'cause then he'd be really mad (Well...there's always my college days...)
