A Dopey Rat

I can't believe that I passed it not once, but TWICE without noticing it. Then I saw it!!!!

A RAT?? :o Arahhhhh!!! *Panic* *Panic* Oh wait... Look! It has such cute little ears... OHHHH....so adorable!! Yeap! that was my reactions after seeing a rat in my house this morning!! It was resting peacefully on the night light and that see-though tiny little ears were so cute! Seriously, I was gonna go and get a camera, but I was afraid that the flash may wake it up, so i didn't :(

I was going to chase it out of the house, but I was scared that it would shoot of in any direction. I think I feared more about the out-of-control-running than it's a rat. (If it makes any sense). My housemate and I had no idea what to do, so I went to the next door and woke up the neighbour!! Kindly, he put up some cloth and came with his tongs. He walked towards the rat silently. Then, he struck! Unfortunately, he didn't clip it properly at the first time, so the rat escaped. (So was I!). It jumped (me too!) a bit slowly and hopped back facing the night light. Apparently (coz by this point, I had already run up stairs), it FROZE when it saw the light and slowly walked and climbed back to the night light! How weird/cute is that! Somehow the flashing light calmed the rat. He caught it eventually and put it into a plastic bag without too much struggling as it's in a status of being stoned/on high! Then, he helped us resolve the body.

I am still traumatised and get all nervous when I walk around the house...Especially, those dopey flies are back, which makes me wonder where are the dead bodies...

What the? "dead bodies"..."dopey fliers" In my mind's eye I see you wandering around shooing vampire bats away......

I should add I have just read 2.3 Terry Pratchett books, which might explain something :)

Vampire bats? I forgot about them...I better go and check on them. Maybe that's where those dopey flies are from.

You should read "Good Omens". I really like it - even though I have never finished it.

Just looking that up on Amazon...yeah sounds like I might enjoy it....even if they don't understand the religion they are poking fun at, it sounds like it might be funny :)

I've just read 'Thud!', 'Monsterous Regiment' and now 'Going Postal'. the last two were funniest for me of those 3. Ah, they're all good !!
