Mama, just joining conversation: "Now, where was this?"
A: "Stanford"
M: "Oh! those poor mice! How many were there?"

M: "My goodness! Where did you get them all, at a vivarium or something?"
A: "No, they were... rescued."
*Papa laughs, and speaks up* "From a lab! You know, Grandma's dog was a rescue too."
