I was driving home from a movie theatre last night when I noticed a leaf caught on my windshield wiper. No, wait. That's behaving weirdly for a leaf. Did it just...amble to its right?

The mouse and I gazed into one another's eyes. He was bemused by the 35 mph winds. I was amused that he was walking along my windshield wiper.

Click.

The wiper shot the mouse to my left, and he whipped around the corner of the car, where he grabbed hold of the mouse-sized gap in the driver's door window. He clung on, sticking his head into the car and glaring at me. Amusement: canceled.

We gazed into one another's eyes again, one of us enraged, the other terrified. I'll let you sort out who was whom.
