I had a mouse in my van today. A real, live mouse just running across the floor. I don't know where it wanted to go, but I gave it a ride anyway. It was probably quite an adventure for the little guy. I thought it would be cool to write a children's book about the whole thing. It should probably rhyme, Dr. Seuss style. Kids love rhyming animal stories. But it all unraveled quickly because the whole premise of the situation didn't rhyme. It wasn't a pet on a jet, or a goat on a boat. It was a mouse . . . in a van. So I gave up my short-lived dream of writing a children's book.
Then it occurred to me that the mouse was riding in a van with a man, and I thought, what a cool mouse. He should write a book.
Anyway, I hope you're having a weird day too.
