Mousie went travelling for Thanksgiving. Yes, Mousie celebrates Thanksgiving - he's thankful for his fellow fuzzy creatures and for being so small that he gets to go everywhere. And for being loved to the point of starting to get a little matted and bald in places like the tips of his nose and ears. Mousie's Thanksgiving adventures so far have been overwhelmingly dominated by the presence of the annual Enormous Turkeymonster. This particular Turkeymonster is different from all other turkeymonsters-past in that it is really ENORMOUS. And Mousie, as you remember, is very small.
Mousie has to be careful around the Turkeymonster, lest it become a Turmousiemonster. Mousie also likes staying clean and dry unless he means to take a bath - if he fell in the pan he'd come out a very soggy mouse, indeed. And very many colors. To get a good look at the Turkeymonster, Mousie had to stand on a special viewing platform. He did not want to be roasted by the heat of the Turkeymonster's lair. But he wanted to get as close as he could to the deliciously terrifyingly delicious beast. He also got another perspective on the Turkeymonster when it was resting and distracting the rest of the family with its delicious enormity.
Mousie is not afraid of the Turkeymonster, in part because the Turkeymonster is delicious. It makes the entire house smell good, too. It looks a bit silly, laying there with its legs and wings in the air and its huge belly rising like the sun. Mousie thinks that the Turkeymonster might also like a blanket, maybe a blanket of mashed potatoes and gravy. The Turkeymonster may be ENORMOUS, and mildly terrifying in its huge blackened steaming bulk, but we give thanks for its delicious sacrifice to the spirit of family and togetherness and love. This is really why Mousie is not afraid of the Turkeymonster - Mousie loves the Turkeymonster.
