Mouse

 I don't blame him it's -12 outside. First he ate the soap. So we put soap in a jar with a lid. This morning he ate a red potato. I found a clue, a mouse poop on the white base of the mixer. This led me to the bag of red potatoes next to it. One third of a potato eaten. Then I found the cornbread I baked last night that I hid inside the open oven. Silly me, he can climb the oven grates like a jungle gym. Poor mouse. In Spring I will open the basement closet and he will be the size of me!
