Is that your final answer?
Conversation with Younger Son...
He: How long do mice live?
Me: I don't know.
He: (long monologue about mice for sale at the pet store... then...) How long do mice live?
Me: What did I tell you the last time you asked me that?
He: I don't know.
Me: *blink*
He: *blink*
Me: Right.
He: Wait, what?

ROTFL!!! That was priceless.
That was GREAT!
BTW, mice may have a typical longevity that you can look up, but they are very susceptible to cancer. I don't think we had a hamster that lived past 2 years. (We have a hamster graveyard in the backyard.) We had one die of uterine cancer (actually, for $35 you can have it euthanized, which I did, but the guys at work said they'd have done it for free with a shovel) and we had one die of breast cancer. The last one just dropped dead. It probably had some sort of cancer that was not obvious.
I found out later it's why rodents are used in cancer tests.
