He’s singing!

Can all mice sing?
Uh, I don’t know. Can they?

I don’t think so. What kinds of songs does Wolf sing?

Yes, Wolfgang Amadeus. Do you remember any of the songs?
Uh, Three Blind Mice and another one, I can’t remember.

Wolf is sort of her pet mouse. Would you like a pet mouse?
Uh...do pet mouse...? Uh, yes! I’m going to carry the pet mouse and then I can handle a dog!

    1. Lately all conversations lead to dogs (or cats). I'd love to get her a pet, but she shakes with terror whenever she's around one. Maybe fish?
