When I read the word "expired", I thought of the euphemistically worded directions on our "mouse cube" mouse trap: "Check the trap frequently so the mouse will not expire." (I thought that's what mouse traps were supposed to accomplish, but apparently not...) Maybe this little girl checked the trap frequently enough to catch an un-expired mouse, and decided to keep it as a pet.
Those are pretty funny instructions! Bizarre. And great illustration. I like the girl's crouching excited posture. Well captured.
