I Should Have Stayed in Bed!

10 I Should Have Stayed in Bed! Have you ever heard the expression “ Some days it's just better to stay in bed" ? Well, I had one of those days last week. It was the day for school pictures, and my mother had laid out my best clothes. After I got dressed, before I could do anything, the cat needed to be fed, so I gave him some food. Normally, that would keep him quiet, but that day, he was still excited about something. I sat down to breakfast and began to eat. My mother was making my lunch. She opened the closet door and suddenly let out a scream that made me jump up so fast that I spilled my bowl of cereal all over my good clothes. “ Ahhhh! A mouse! It's a mouse! " shouted my mother. You know it's funny. My mother loves animals. We have a fish, a cat, a dog, a rabbit and even an iguana-but, she hates mice. She quickly jumped up on a chair and told me, " Get a box! Get a broom! Get something! "

I went to get a box, but just at that moment, our dog came running into the room to see what all the excitement was about. He saw the milk I had spilled on the floor and ran towards it just as I was going the other way. One of us had to slip, and it was me. I fell over and knocked my mother off the chair. I guess all the noise scared the mouse. It started running across the floor, but the cat grabbed it in its mouth and ran off! As a result of all this, my school picture shows me with a bruised cheek. On top of that, my mother sprained her ankle. Sometimes I wonder if the cat planned the whole thing? You know what? Maybe I should have just stayed in bed.
