This thread has me in stitches....and i have a tale of my own. Setting the scene....we lived in the country and it was early fall and I knew the mice were already starting to come into the basement.
I had an open bag of M&Ms in my pantry...but was saving them to make M&M cookies for the kids. One night after they were in bed, got in the pantry only to find the bag had only a couple M&Ms left in it. Darn kids !! I told them i was going to bake cookies.
Didn't think anything else about it - til a couple days later i was going to make rice with dinner. Reached 3 shelves UP from the shelf the M&Ms were on - and almost dropped the rice box because it was so much heavier than it should have been. Looked inside and the Uncle Ben's box was full of......you guessed it ....M&Ms. I swear it's true !!!! Some dumb mouse had moved them all into that box. No way the kids could have done it - they could not have reached the top shelf even standing on a chair !!!
Sure made me mad cuz i had to throw away the rice and the M&Ms !!!
