Yesterday we got our own Nutcracker: 

There was a small problem I should have anticipated, though: when he saw Ulli and Sabine, he went right into Prussian military mode and wanted to attack. It took awhile to convince him that ours are not unfriendly mice such that he is used to, but gentle sweet mice. I'm still not sure he understands, but we are working on him. 

J of course wanted to crack some nuts, and we don't currently have any. I said I would get some but told him that we have to be careful not to damage Nutcracker's mouth. What I was fishing for, J produced right away: "Wie Fritz das in der Geschichte gemacht hat!"
