Rats, we have mice

So the other night I was just about to go to sleep when my roommate wakes me up and is like…“um what are you doing?” I respond that I was about to go to sleep of course. It turns out that, unknown to me, a mouse had crawled up onto my roommate in our room earlier that night. So last night I slept on the couch. Now when I say mouse I don’t mean the “click click” computer mouse here we are talking about the fuzzy rabies carrying real life Mickeys and Minnies. Needless to say my mom was a little freaked out. I kind of toned her down by pretending that it was something worse. When I started explaining the fact that we had mice I made it sound like I got mugged. Therefore, her reaction was “good its only mice!” The next morning a man from maintenance came to check out our mouse problem. He looked around for all of three minutes told us he put traps in the room then left. I think he just really wanted to get out of the mouse house of terror. But before he left he said, “Well you have mice not rats. Now that is a good thing, because mice don’t get along with other mice families. But rats do.” I was thinking I am not sure that is good news. It seems like rats would be easier to live with they would be all laid back and stuff. They would say thinks like, “Hey I don’t have a problem chilling with other rats. They can live here too. Oh and I have no problem with that human there. I mean he’s cool. Word.” But I think mice will be all like. “Alright that flipping homo sapien is macking on our turf. I say we do a lil confrontation forshizzle and make this mofo hit the road Yo!! Only us and our family can infest this edifice!!!” That is right when mice talk they would use Ebonics and rhyme rather well.
That is another thing too aren’t mice and rats the same species. But rats have such a bad reputation. They are always the evil cartoons and characters in movies, films, and storybooks. Mice, on the other hand, are the cuddly version of these rodents. You have all the nice mouse characters, Minnie and Mickey, Pinky and the Brain, That Great American adventure thing, The Rescuers down under, Jerry from Tom and Jerry, the mice from Cinderella and the list goes on.
I can only think of one friendly rat and it was Splinter from the teenage mutant ninja turtles and he was still like a human deadly warrior morphed into a rat so I am not sure how much that counts. Then you have the bad rats they are always portrayed as evil. We don’t have double standards in the human world. You don’t call good people human beings and mean people homosapiens. But we should! Lets just create a discrimination of species base on meanness that way we have different standards for mean people than nice people. Oh we can’t blame him for being evil what do you expect he is a homo sapien, not a human like us. Come to think of it that is a really bad idea. Anyways Rats Mice mean nice you get the idea.
