Eddy's new mousetrap design

All day yesterday Eddy, who is four going on five years old, refined her design for a mousetrap. Recently she has been telling me that, when she grows up, she is going to kill bad animals. I pressed the point and was told that she had been learning about bears and wolves in nursery. I couldn't figure out if they were the "big bad" variety or the "you should really be into preservation of the species" types. Nevertheless she was quite intent on assassination in the future. Perhaps it is as well that she has turned her attention to capturing mice rather than stalking wolves! I am certainly very impressed with this work of engineering and I'm sure our mice will welcome the easy access it affords to their dinner.
