Just a bit of 'mouse' humor for you ...
When my DD and her husband were newly married and living in a rental house, she had left a few dishes soaking in water in the kitchen sink one night. The next morning her hubby was up and heading to work (she was still asleep) and he noticed a dead mouse in the water. He disposed of it right away and told her later. The next time she was filling the sink with water to wash dishes, he asked her if she was baiting her mouse trap!!
