When I set out the treat table...cookies, pies, breads...I place the mice in and around it all. Some friends and family like it...some dont. LOL You know.... " you live on a farm, of COURSE you have mice" attitude. The grandkids just love them, and THATS why I make them....for the babies. The "grown ups" can BITE ME! Last year...I caught my grandson playing with one...."walking " it across the table...and then he said... " look out, its the big human mouse trap" and in his mouth it went! I just love the imagination of a child!
