This had me roaring! I can empathize , too. My kids, husband and I swapped our lives in the “city" of Missoula, Montana for a job on a ranch in Wyoming. One of the first nights I was there, I reached way into the shoe rack I had hanging in the mudroom. A big, fat squeaking mouse flew onto my face and I screamed! I scared the bejesus out of my kids, and the “rat shuffle" was repeated whenever my kids wanted to make fun.
