Taking the Scenic Route

I know now why my parents never bought us mousetrap.  It is one of those games that is very fun as a kid, and insanely tedious as an adult.  We did get good at distracting them when one of us was “supposed” to turn the crank, even though there was no mouse to be caught, just so we didn’t have to reset the trap for the thousandth time.   The kids loved it though.  Both kids “won”.  Zane actually won, but Zora thought she did because she got to turn the crank and catch Zane’s mouse after the game was officially over.  win-win.
