New For Halloween--White Mouse Earrings

Today I visited the Spirit Halloween store with my son.  Among other things, we picked up these wonderfully squooshey rubber rodents.  After we got home we were playing around with our new squooshey toys, and I tried hanging one of the rodents by the tail from my son's ear (should have gotten a picture--darn it!) when I got this far-fetched idea that these rodents could actually be made into serviceable earrings.
