The Museum Mouse Makes a Request

It's the most inspiring place to be a mouse, especially scenes like looking down on the huge whale skeleton.  I mean, all the stuffed mammals and birds and insects are a bit weird sometimes.  The dinosaurs are cool, though. And the bit with the earthquake simulator. 

And it got us all thinking. So, beyond the skirting boards we started to make our own museum. We've a gallery of lost change featuring coins from all around the world. A giant nest made of dropped tissues. A history of cheeses selected from the cafe down the years. An exhibition of lost single gloves.  All under a roof of umbrellas in a forgotten space.

With the people gone, though, for most of the year (and far fewer when they did return), we've been stuck for ways to expand. 

So please, we are begging, for our own sanity, please send us human things. We need your weird stuff to keep us entertained.

Flash! Friday from the following picture prompt (we were also asked to add a Fire Element (include a non-human character) or Ice Element (include a phrase in another language (non-English))) and had a word count limit of 150-160 words.
