A LETTER TO TWENTY-MINUTES-AGO-JILL-TWISS:

Dear TMAJT,

Here is a thing I would not do if I were you (which I am. Or, rather, I was. Twenty minutes ago. Now I am an entirely different person, vastly more mature and with the sort of insight that only comes with age):

Whilst baiting a mousetrap with an eensy little piece of cheese, I would probably avoid leaving the GIANT REMAINING PIECE OF CHEESE out on the counter.

Turns out the mouse might actually prefer the latter. Go figure.

Sincerely,

Right-Now-Jill-Twiss
