Let me read it to you!

“Shoe shoe shoe…” said Sid.
“Oh no!” shouted Sharon as she leapt onto the sofa, “you said you’d got rid of that horrible mouse!”
“I did, I don’t know why you were so scared of it anyway”.
“So what are you shouting shoo shoo shoo at?”
“I’m not shouting at anything, I’m looking for a shoe!”
“Oh, thank goodness” huffed Sharon as she flopped into the seat.
“Right boot, right brogue, left sandal, right slipper, …”
“Out the way, I’ll look”.
“Shoo shoo shoo” shouted Sid as he clambered onto the table.
“Shoosh, Sid!”
“No Sharon, it’s the mouse, it’s back!”

eek!
Squeak!
Both, it seems, are feart o the wee sleekit cooerin timorous beastie
There’s nothing worse than a moose in ya’ hoose!
Haha! 😂
Hehe! Thanks, Sadje!
😂😂😂
Mighty Mouse.
Hopefully not, a Mini Mouse scares them enough
Why did I fear the mouse would return when Sharon was searching? I’d like her to not be scared of the little thing like Sid is 😉
I think the little mouse is enjoying itself, should I ever come back as one I’ll be heading straight for a couple like Sharon and and Sid!
Haha! I think you’re right! And I bet you would, too. 😊
This mouse is not for shooing!
No, it is not! Cute little bugger, no doubt…
Well done. Everybody is afraid of the tiny mouse.
They are, even I’m getting nervous!
It is so marvelous how you come up with a thrilling story from a photo!. Great job, Keith. I guess Sid is not as brave as he had hoped when it comes to uninvited “guests.”
Thanks, Suzette. I’m not quite sure where my little story came from, it appeared from nowhere – a bit like the mouse!
Awesome…the story and the mouse!!
The mouse is likely more terrified than the humans, but still, I’d be up on the table, too. I hope it’s a sturdy one 🙂
That’s true, it could well be!
Poor Sid! LOL
I’ll feel for him!
Mouse in the house, not a good idea. If I may Keith, you might enjoy this one

Oh my, your story is absolutely hilarious! Thanks so much for the link.
You’re welcome Keith.
Excellent, Keith.
Cheers, Bill!
Could the mouse be hiding the shoes? Nice one Keith
It could well be, Iain!
If you have one mouse, you have many. After all, there are no little mousie priests, taking vows and not starting families.
Nice story! I hope they got rid of their mouse/mice/meeses.
Very true Mimi, a congregation of mouses/mices/meeseses!
Great laugh and play on words. Feel like I’m back in a Tom and Jerry cartoon. Wishing you a sunna weekend.
I’ve not seen one of those for years! Thanks, Susan.
Yikes! We need the “Pied Piper of Hamelin” to shoo them away!
Don’t want to image mice inside my shoes!!!
*imagine mice inside
We do! The only things I want in my shoes are my feet!
Totally agree! 🙂
Hilarious dialog, Keith. I don’t think I’d be calm.
Screaming and jumping up on the sofa would be me.
HA HA Thanks for the chuckle. Fun story!
Have a good weekend … Isadora 😎
Delighted to have amused you, Isadora, thanks so much!
Your very welcome …
As always Keith, you made me smile, but I remain curious why people are so scared of mice, I think they are rather cute…in small doses mind you 😄
So do I, but I’m not keen on the droppings they leave in their wake!
🐭😊
Funny. I was going to suggest the same as Iain – tidy up the shoes, and the mouse problem might disappear.😊
I’ll suggest it to Sharon and Sid. The mice won’t be too pleased though!
I’d be screaming my head off 😂
I’d rather you didn’t, Maria!
😁
Shriek, LOL. No, seriously, hilarious story, great dialogue. I bet the mouse hears shoo and thinks it’s an invitation. I always shrieked, ‘don’t kill it, don’t kill it’ – and came up with elaborate traps with see-saws that tip over in a box, and cheese, and relocation–only to find the beasty back in the house the next day.
Dear Keith,
What fun dialogue. Of course I always love a good play on words. And I have been known to stand on a table or two to get away from a wee mouse myself.
Shalom,
Rochelle
I briefly considered a shoo/shoe pun. Now, I’m glad I didn’t. You nailed it.
Keith, I can see your scenarios in my mind as I listen. They make me smile and brighten my day.
A mouse? Yikes! I agree. Shoo! Shoo!
