So the other night I had this weird dream. Imagine that. A dream being weird? Yeah, it happens. And lately I've been eye-ball deep in a manuscript, like Inception-bottom-level-dreaming deep, and that's when things like Caffeinated Mice tend to strike. Yes, you heard right. A character in my dream said, "Look out for the caffeinated mice!" I don't remember the context of this exclamation or why the character warned me of my Artificially Sweetened, Rodent-Laden Dooms Day. But really. Caffeinated Mice? What's going on in there? Coffee with your cheese?
Here are a few scenarios in which the aforementioned exclamation works. Well, kind of.
- Mice have invaded your pantry and ripped open a bag of breakfast blend.
- Coca-cola has taken over the world and has streamed soft drinks to sewer systems.
- Rat poison out. Milk chocolate in.
- Red Bull has changed its name to Red Rat.
- New best-selling children's book: If you Give a Mouse a Sip of Espresso...
Funny!
ReplyDeleteGlad one person thinks so.
ReplyDeleteHah! I think everyone is off vacationing, having fun. We are hanging out taking care of kids and writing books. I do like sleeping in my own bed, so I think we're better off than the others. Let them wake up with kinks in their necks. Speaking of vacationing, the family may be going to Long Beach. Are you anywhere near those parts?
ReplyDeleteWe're 45 minutes north of Long Beach. If you're not familiar with the area, I can give you some recs.
ReplyDeleteOkey dokey. I'll let you know if/when my husband buys tickets. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThe last thing mice need is caffeine... As manic as a caffeinated mouse.
