When I was 7 we visited my uncle's farm in Kansas (I was a city girl). I saw a mouse laying on the doorstep one morning. Thinking it would sing and dance, like they did in cartoons, I picked it up. I was so surprised when it bit me! Later I found out it was dying of poison and mice don't sing and dance. After I grew up I wondered why no one took me to the dr. for that bite.
