Mice don't typically enjoy being trapped in mousetraps – and this cutie is no exception.

An adorable toddler celebrated Halloween as a mouse stuck in a giant mousetrap. In the image shared by hiitsjen on Reddit, the costume also featured a perfect look of subtle, puzzling betrayal.

It's pretty genius.

According to a comment by the original poster, the giant wooden mousetrap was built on top of a wagon, so the tyke really was trapped in there.

Hopefully Mom gave the little mouse some real cheese to stay occupied.
