MOUSE or "RAT":  recommended version



MOUSE:  Version 2
Use your "pinkie."  Hold your finger off to one side of your nose. Move your finger sideways brushing past your nose. You sign mouse using a double movement.
Repeat.  Note: you don't actually have to "touch" the nose. 
Some people use the index finger for this sign.
Some people say that you should use the pinkie finger to mean "mouse" and the index finger to mean "rat."
Other people use an "R" to mean "rat." 
The ASL "Initialization" Police sometimes arrest people for using excessive initialization -- so don't use the "R" version if any ASL Police are around.  (Heh.)
