Step three: Watch in horror as Grace allows the beast to crawl up her arm as she carries it outside, obviously terrified, but hiding it well by mocking my fear derisively and telling me to quit acting like a baby.
Step four: Reward Grace for her heroism, saving us from a fate worse than death without once flinching in the face of grave danger.

I wish this was how it played out in my house...
In my house, I am typically woken at 3 am (or some such un-Godly hour) by my wife, who twitching like the little girl in your step one, informs me that our cat has once again caught a mouse and is chasing it around the dinning room...
Blear-eyed I proceed to the dinning room wrestle said mouse from my growling cat (he doesn't like to give up his prey).
I collect the mouse in a plastic cup I keep for just such occasions and take it across the street where I dump the mouse into my neighbour's garden.
I don't think I've really seen this side of Step Four... though it would be nice from time to time.
