From MotherUnit:

When I was in Girl Scouts (we’re talking 40 years ago here peeps) our council owned a cabin just a little bit out of town and my troop arranged to use it for a winter weekend. We spent all day outside sledding till dinner. Afterward we roasted marshmallows in the fireplace for s’mores and then into our jammies before filing into the bunk room for the night.

This bunk room was narrow and ran the full length of the building. There were 12 sets of bunk beds & nearly every bed was occupied. We’re all settling down when a scream comes from the far end of the bunk room. A girl was on the top bunk shrieking & pointing into the corner. There a little mouse was peeking at her through a crack in the floor. So, she did what any self-respecting pre-teen would do: She threw a shoe at it.

As soon as the shoe settled the mouse peeked out again so she threw another shoe. We kept passing shoes, slippers and even snow boots for her to lob. In no time the corner was full of shoes, but the mouse kept peeking out from the footwear totally unfazed by our efforts. Our leaders, unable to sympathize for the danger that we were convinced existed, told us to quit screaming & go to sleep. Eventually we did.

The second night we entered the bunk room somewhat nervously, but the mouse chose not to appear there again.
