The Mouse in the Car
Ford by our Model A
Once when we were living in an apartment out in the country we had our friends, Dutch and Sadi visit us for a dinner.
At that time we had the old model A car that I have written about before. It had to sit parked outside since a garage was not provided. It was parked out by a grassy field on one side of the house.
We were going somewhere with Dutch and Sadi after we ate our dinner and we were going in our Model A. We all got in the car and took off for where we were headed. We had only driven a short distance when suddenly Sadi started screaming and climbing around in the back seat. We had no idea what was wrong so Ford pulled over to the side of the road and we said , "What is wrong?" Then we saw what was wrong--a little mouse was running across the top of the back seat. Sadi was going nuts trying to get out of the back seat. She quickly opened the door and got out of the car. The two men got after the mouse and shoved it out the door. Then we got back in and went on our way.
Since the car had to be parked by the grassy field we figured that is when the mouse got in the car. The mouse was as glad to get out of the car as we were to get him out.
After that when we went anywhere in the car we banged on it and checked it out before we got in it. We only lived in that apartment for a short time and I was glad when we didn't have to worry about the mice anymore.

I'm with Sadi! I'd have been hoping around, too! Ask SH and NH what I did when SH saw a mouse in my kitchen.
That's hopping around -- not hoping. My fingers type faster than my brain works.
