Evicting Mr. I Don't Know
The time has come, Mr. I Don't Know, to pack your bags and
hit the road. I don't care where you go. How about a few months
with your shiftless cousin, Mr. Not Me, over at the Family Circus?
"Why must I leave?" you ask? It has come to my attention that
things would run more smoothly without you here. This is a partial
list of your offenses:
some of these mysteries. Or at least help me correct the problems.
But you just look at me blankly, like everyone else, eyebrows raised.
And as far as that Hershey bar that Hillbilly Grandma bought me,
telling me that you only took one piece (well, yes, you admit, it
happened to be 4 squares but they were all in one piece) and you
really didn't even like dark chocolate anyway so you quit eating it
does not help your case in the least.
Oh, and when I mentioned that you should pack your bags...we both
know there is no need of that, because they have been sitting against
the wall on my side of the bed since you got back from your last
trip one month ago. I'll merely move them to the curb, just before
I kick you there.
Hit the road, Jack, and don't you come back no more! Y'hear?

His twin lives at my house - Mr. Wasn't Me!
I knew that when we named Kady we were setting ourselves up for this scenario:
"Who did this? Did you?"
"Nope. Kady did."
That's always cracked me up. I can't keep a straight face when they pull that one on me. I'm easily amused, yes I know.

Ha! Did he choose her name for that very purpose?
At least evil twin Mr. Wasn't Me might keep your mouse explosion in check.
I agree that you must be easily amused if you continue to come here and read my boring stories. I actually had a friend who would say to me "So go on with you boring story."
Like her stories about sledding off Art Hill in St. Louis while wearing a down coat and landing in the water and being so heavy that when the fireman tried to rescue her he couldn't pull her out and he said, "Oh, f#*%!" were any more interesting than my stories...
