What is this? Dead animal week? A similar thing happened to me. I'm doing stuff and my son comes to the door sobbing and sobbing. I finally get him talking and he said he saw something gross. What I ask?

A dead rat.

We don't have rats, we have mice. It's probably a dead mouse.

It's gross, he says, you can see under the muscle and everything.

He's 7. I don't believe him.

His brother, also 7, says Cool, can I see?

He runs out and runs back telling me the spine is sticking out.

They are 7. I don't believe them.

They finally convince me to go have a look.

Yep, it's a rat. Yep, the spine is sticking out. Weird. If it is still there I'll take a pic.
