The Mouse

That's what we're calling Malachi: The Mouse. We had been calling him Mal, Mal being an obvious abbreviation for Malachi. Mal soon became Mals, because we're into faux-plural abbreviations.

* Resha Kate and Sophie aren't actually twin cousins, foremost because there is no such thing. They weren't even born on the same day. But they are a mere four days apart, so I won't apologize for my use of "twin cousin."
