A Dominic funny

Background: There was a weird rattling sound the rear a/c vent when we got our van from Austin. Because we were in a hurry, the dealership told us we could bring the van back anytime and they'd take care of the problem for us. Thinking it might be covered under warantee anyway, we went to our local Mazda dealership and they took apart the rear a/c and found a dead MOUSE in there. They informed us that was not something covered in the warantee so we'd have to take it back to Austin. So three months later, we finally make it back out to Austin, with our petrified friend in-tow (bless his soul). Worried that the dealership wouldn't do the work for us or might charge us for the work involved, we don't mention that we know that we're toting a stowaway in the van. However, Dominic at some point has picked up on what is going on, and we had no idea of this.

Dominic to the salesman: "Do all these cars have provlems?" (looking at cars with their hoods up)
S: "Well, uh yes!"
D: "Our car has a BIG provlem."
S: (chuckling) "It does?"
D: "Yeah. There's a mouse. In HERE." (smiling smartly and pointing to the grill)
S: "Oh really?" looking at me

I sort of played it off and walked away, not knowing what to do! When we came back to pick up the car, neither of us knew what to expect. The salesman told us that our son was GIFTED. That he must have ESP, because they had found a mouse in our vent! I'm sure we'll be telling this jewel in our family for years to come....
