It’s almost Father’s Day season! That time of the year where dads everywhere are shown some love. Now, for many of us, that love is in the form of presents.

Now, I haven’t planned anything with a mouse lately (or ever), but I have with my family, and, to paraphrase Lizzo: why plans great til they gotta be great?
