We three mice

In the Orem store, my part time worker Andrew and I have been trying to catch a mouse that has been running around on the showroom floor but also in the warehouse. We chased it into a closet the other day but failed to catch the mouse in a cardboard tube. Last Friday (roughly Nov. 6th) I found some sticky pad mouse traps in one of the drawers, so I decided to set some out in random places and see if I would catch this mouse. If the traps failed I was going to get a free cat on KSL. On Monday morning, I decided to go see if the traps caught anything, the first trap...Nothing! Second trap....Nothing! By now I figured I had picked the wrong places. Third trap...Success!! Not only did I catch one mouse, I caught a grand total of 3 on one trap. I was so pumped that I saved it for Andrew to see. Upon further inspection, I realized what really took place on that trap. Some time on the weekend, the first mouse ran across the trap and got stuck. The second mouse came upon the trap realized the first mouse was dead and started to eat (yes, I said eat) the first mouse. It then got stuck on the sticky trap and most likely died. The third mouse came upon the trap, saw the two dead mice and started to eat the second mouse. It too got stuck and ended up dying on the sticky pad. It was incredibly gross to look at, but I was intrigued by what took place on the trap. Success is all in the eyes of the beholder and I believe this is one of those moments.
