G’day my people!
I am just on my way to visit Minty and Monty. I need to have a little ‘talk’ with them about something very important.
I hope Minty likes these pretty flowers, I picked them especially and didn’t even eat one!
Now then Minty and Monty, I thought I’d drop by and see how married life is treating you?
You have been married for a month now and there are certain matters of a delicate nature that we need to discuss.
It’s nice that we can sit out in the sunshine and relax while we have our little chat. Would it be possible to arrange for some snacks though? It seems ages since I had my post lunch top-up. Oh and a cooling drink – I’m beginning to feel a bit hot.
Now while you two sit up straight and concentrate on paying attention and not giggling, I am going to get a little booklet that will help me to explain certain matters more fully.
Right, deep breath, here goes. Minty and Monty my dears, you are both healthy mice and it is only natural that your thoughts may be turning towards err, gulp – starting a family.
Oh dear, is it me or is it getting very hot in here?
Planning a family is not a matter to take lightly. There are many pitfalls and lots of things can go wrong.
Pay close attention to this section, and those diagrams, and all will become clear. Hopefully!
Goodness, where’s mummy when you need her?
You see, it isn’t too complicated is it? All you need to ensure is that you follow the procedures carefully and don’t worry if nothing seem to be happening. It can take ages sometimes but it will be worth the wait. Before you both know it, you will be blessed with the pitter patter of tiny paws.
That wasn’t so difficult.
Monty and Minty are going to send off for a baby mouse from their local Adopt-a-Mouse Rescue centre. They have some beautiful little mice.
Well done you two – there are so many babies needing good homes.
Maybe you could ask for a baby AND a toddler mouse, then they can play together then!
Your local Adopt-a-Mouse Rescue Centre will be glad you had the good sense to act responsibly.
Can you excuse me now, I really need to go and have my tea.
Gosh Minty, I thought Fairy was going to give us her ‘Birds and Bees’ talk!
Yes Monty, so did I! How embarrassing would that have been? Give us a kiss!
Hahahaha!!!!!!! This is so funny! The pics are fantastic but the captions really as superlative! We loved it and laughed out loud – we wondered just where it was going for a moment! thanks !!!!
Brilliant Mildred, Sweet innocent Fairy. What a novel idea to help them adopt! 🙂
oh Fairy you cute little cupcake you! That was an adorable talk with a nice twist at the end and although the whole thing made you a bit nervous, you did very well.
How sweet of our little innocent Fairy…and how kind of Monty and Minty to go along with it! Does this mean we’re going to hear the pitter patter of tiny mice feet soon?
What a lovely chapter. You write so beautifully Mildred, I mean Fairy 🙂 xx
I have to admit I thought Fairy was going to talk about cabbage patches : )
Thanks!! I think the ‘procedure’ of acquiring some mice from the Adopt-a-Mouse rescue centre will take a week or two at the most, Alimouse. In the meantime, Fairy is busy with matters arising from the disappearing grass – more soon about that!
