The wonders of Electrical Tape

I heard from someone at work that rats and rodents tend to nibble on your veggies because they are searching for water. She suggested that I leave little bowls of water near the by the veggies that were being nibbled. I thought, "Why not? It can't hurt." So I went on the quest for rat sized bowls.

I didn't exactly have that in my possession. I did find three plastic cups from a party I had hosted at work. I took a bread knife and started to saw at it. It worked pretty well. I then covered all the edges with electrical tape.

I took the newly created bowls outside and filled them with water. Jeremy looked over and said, "What is the black all over the bowls?"

"Electrical tape," I said.

"Why?" he asked.

"So the rats don't cut their little snouts."

And for some reason he rolled his eyes. Hmph. I guess I am the only one looking out for the tomato nibbling rats in the neighborhood.
