Mouse Trap



Occasionally we get a few critters in our house. This year we had a mole problem. Is that weird?
Anyway, Benjamin actually saw a mole in the playroom, before it's fateful demise by the trap. That was exciting.He was very perinode to go into the playroom, until Andrew invented a mouse trap.
DISCLAIMER: I was at work when all of this creativity happened. Andrew was quietly busy all night inventing, while Scott assumed he was watching a movie with the others.

It is a bead...with a string tied tightly around it. The bead is then hidden by white cheese (because mice like white cheese and Andrew doesn't. He is not sharing his Cheddar).
It was suppose to be a little bit of cheese, but then Andrew thought it would be better if the mice had to gobble the cheese.
The idea is that the mouse would eat the cheese, have the bead in its stomach and we could pull the mouse out of the house with the string.
He is four yrs old.

Sounds like he's his daddy's boy.

That is pure genius! It shows quite a bit of logical thinking. That boy is going to grow up to be the next great physicist who discovers the secrets of the universe.
