On a note related (oh YES) to the below post, we'd considered not just letting a wild baby out only to have to watch after it closely. Solution? Possibly one of those plastic running balls like pet gerbils go in. AQ pointed out there'd be poo all over its inside, regardless of ineffectual trajectory normally.AQ: "We'd put our gerbils in those things and there'd just be poo rolling around in no time."Because, you know, a person spends so much time considering the finer points of rodent insertion in wrong places.
DM: "Ya, or when they're scared, or having a bath."
AQ: "Pretty much any stimulus and those things are shitting left and right."
DM: "...which really brings another level of ick to the whole
gerbling thing, huh?"
[Pause.]
AQ: "That's horrible, man. Layers."
DM: "Sort of a microcosm of and within the greater grossness, even while contributing to it. I just can't believe this has never occurred to either of us before."

"Handbanana, meet Gerbil. Gerbil, sic Handbanana! Sic him!"
Apparently. [wince]
My mom knew a woman who screamed when she saw a mouse. In response, the mouse sprung itself off her lap and into her mouth. True story.
From the mouse's point of view, for reason's that will forever remain unclear, that was the right thing to do.
Open mouth. Insert mouse.
(Please excuse inappropriate use of a possessive, above.)
That mouse-story is hilarious and HORRIFYING! The closest I got is when my aunt was chewing bubble gum as a kid, yawned really wide, and, unbeknownst to her, a bee flew in there -- which she then chomped when she resumed chewing. Stung her in the tongue.
True story.
(She's alive and well today.)
