I'm an old softy grampa of 4 but somehow this story still makes me barf. "This whole thing is a tragedy,'' Caroline said. "I know it's not a real mouse." GMAFB

I guess I am a softy. I feel bad for the kid.

A perfect example of a good liberal education. The laws of physics still apply; even in San Fran.
I bet she has a better understanding of physics now and so does mousie.
p.s. Lucky for the rodent, she was headed East or swimming might be an real tough option.

Must be a very dull day at the Gate's news desk.
I can just hear it now. "Bush's been bashed, El Sheehan's been covered, - - what's an editor gonna do?"
Well look at this! How wonderful, a self-centered pre-teen with a "tragedy" to share with our readers.
And it's sure to boost sales in the barf bag company I own stock in, said the editor to himself. ;-)

...partly to find out how many balloons it takes to float a mouse. And now she knows. So she lost Mousie and learned a valuable life lesson. You don't put the things you love at risk or you might lose them.
I approve of learning this lesson with a stuffed mouse at age 11 rather then with a little baby at age 21.

The whole family needs therapy.
And the Chronicle needs a new editor. How many actual news stories have been ignored so that drivel like this can be printed?

Chalk it up as a learning experience for the little girl. None of my rodent pets lasted very long when I kid either.

Actually, this has the hint of one of them
"It was a dark and stormy night" entries...
But someone left her bedroom window open and, as Caroline watched in horror, a sudden gust carried the floating Mousie out the window, past the maple tree in the backyard, over the rooftop and gone.

In other news a group of gerbils destined for the bay area are holed up at a pet wholesaler demanding not to be shipped to SanFransico.
Leaders of the gerbils had apparently recently seen a disturbing south park episode.
