They call it "shiao lao su" (little mouse).

It was embarrassing when I needed to have that explained to me. Your stories are hilarious btw.

Your mother stories are the best. I laugh so hard and then I realize how much I want top blog about my mother but sadly, she knows I have a blog and I think she reads it. That might be as bad as your mom having your gate opener. Hugs I’m so glad you are back. Your mother stories are the best.
