Although Kaden is out of diapers, I still carry along a diaper bag to church for him in case he would have an accident, and to carry items to entertain him during Sacrament. During the week the diaper bags stays out in the van. This past Sunday while Kaden was being fussy, I started rooting through the diaper bag to see what I might find to keep him quiet. I reached in and pulled out this granola bar.
My first thought was a mouse. Then I tried to think of other explanations, there wasn't any!
Look close at the teeth marks where it nibbled away at the paper.
Later I discovered chewed bits of paper at the bottom of the diaper bag. Oh, and yes, those little black things are mouse turds! Remember the mouse that fell from my van while I was parked at Aldi? Now I'm wondering if the mouse really came from the field next to Aldi or if I some how brought it from home. I might have been in Aldi thirty minutes. Is that enough time for a mouse to get in my van, find it's way into the diaper bag, chew through the paper, eat some granola bar and then have a bowel movement? I often leave the diaper bag unzipped. Guess I won't be doing that again!

Yes, its enough time for a mouse to poop. Them little critters are poop machines. How funny that both of us are having mice issues right now. Anyway, if you zip your diaper bag, the mouse will just chew through it. I had one once chew through a rubbermaid container! And those things are thick and strong!
Not to freak you out, but it could have come from your house too. Now is the time of year when the little critters are looking for warm home. Look in your kitchen drawers for "evidence" or down in the basement where you food storage is.
yikes!!! I am glad I am not having the problem you and angie have. Jess and Austin too...they set traps though...put one in your van. We get them in our shed sometimes and its yucky!
Did you say, "TURD" in your blog?
Oh my gosh, I'm sorry. I'm totally laughing here...not really AT you, but this whole post is funny!! The little teeth marks, the TURDS, etc.
Dottie, I started laughing again when I read your comment, because I was already laughing the first time I read that part!
My vote is for the NON Aldi mouse. I think it got into your car from your driveway at home, and has been enjoying life in a sweet, warm van-house!
Of course, Karma stinks....watch us get mice now.
Twas a few weeks before Christmas
when all through the house.
Hidden in the the diaper bag was a lonely little mouse.
A granola bar, his only means of survival.
He'll be calling his mouse friends over for a revival!
Mice will chew thru anything, they even like fruitcake. A few years ago, I had bought a home made fruit cake and had it wrapped in layers of foil and had it hid in the pantry. When I went to get it, some mouse had chewed the whole corner off the fruitcake, foil and all.
Oh, and by the way, with your crime scene investigation, and the evidence you have collected, I'd say you have the mouse dead to rights!
I was anonymouse, I was having trouble with my mouse.
Bonnie is a hoot!
