Country Mouse, February 5

My boy Connor is at it again. Chewing on things that is. His oral fixation of late is the straws that fall from my broom. Fun. Dirty and a safety hazard. Apparently our broom has a shedding problem. All week long I've been picking up straws from the floor. Logically I can't understand how they weren't swept up with everything else. Connor finds these straws like it's his superpower. He usually stands with one in his hand looking slightly befuddled until I come along and snatch it away. When I found him innocently, and quite thoughtfully I might add, chewing on this straw today I couldn't help but take a picture. He just looked like a country boy from a movie, about to tell me how much it would cost to have my truck fixed.
