We have a mouse living with us. She's been with us for several months, in fact. Before you begin e-mailing us with recommendations for exterminators, however, let us assure you: she's harmless. In fact, she's an imaginary mouse -- a product of Gwendolyn's wonderfully active mind.
Little Mouse, as she is called, does everything with Gwendolyn. We are told she eats with us, plays with us, naps with us, accompanies us to school... wherever Gwendolyn happens to be, Little Mouse is sure to be close at hand.
She is a very talented mouse. She can drive, quilt, garden, cook and paint. On the rare occasion she is not with Gwendolyn, she can be found at Gwendolyn's other house, "in the United States, where they say zee instead of zed. "
Daddy has thought about finding a small stuffed mouse to give to Gwendolyn, but he's afraid it would change the richness of Little Mouse's imaginary world for the worse. Better to leave her in Gwendolyn's mind, where she can be and do absolutely anything.
