I’m not a mouse

Nie jestem myszką
UK 2015 / 2’

Do you know that feeling when your parents call you by various, affectionate nicknames as if they forgot that you have a real name? This is just what Lucy is experiencing: her mother calls her a mouse all the time. This would be bearable if not for the fact that Lucy turns into a real mouse every time she calls her that! What a nuisance! A mouse is unable to play ball with her friends or even reach the ice cream on the table. But Lucy has already figured out how to get around this.
