City Mouse Country Mouse and the Black Plague

Last night was parent/teacher conferences. Alanna's doing famously and loves school which is great. I love that she loves school.

Apparently they read the City Mouse and Country Mouse story. When the teacher stopped for discussion she said that the city mouse was afraid of cats and why did the kids think that people in the city would want to own cats?

Alanna raised her hand and proceeded to tell the class about "Way back when there was a Black plague." and about how a lot of people had died and they needed cats to get rid of the rats carrying the disease.

I think the teacher was looking for a more current reason....
