This doesn’t need modern tech

The plain old mousetrap.
This saga begins a few days ago, when my mom, young for 82, was slow-cooking pork ribs, almost done they were, but then she lifted the lid and saw a mouse, floating [censored]-up.
If you knew her, you know she’d be pretty frikking mad. So, she threw out the mouse, ribs and slow-cooker, ordered a new pot off Amazon.
Now I’m living with mom, because my marriage is over (no need for ‘sorries’, we’re both good with it). Sometimes, after 22 years living together, you simply get tired of each other’s voice.
Anyways, she went out and got a couple of those spring-loaded wooden traps, with a clear coating and red wording on it.
Old-school…. and last night, we heard that unmistakable snap, went into the living room and it was lights out for Mickey.
One example of how a classic still gets the job done.
