Hee! A bat came into the room where my mother and I were sleeping once. She covered my head with a sheet and then left, closing the door behind her. She LEFT ME IN THERE. WITH A BAT. My own mother!<BR/><BR/>And we didn't even think to get it checked for rabies.Fraulein Nhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16973894650450550769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10673240.post-68975580897587691112008-08-03T09:48:00.000-04:002008-08-03T09:48:00.000-04:001).

The story, not the event, mind you. I once thought I had rabies too from a bat, so I know how terrifying it is to go through that. The bat was in my friend's car and flew right into my head. Actually touched my head! I won't reveal how it got into the car other than saying it was put in there by two animal lovers attempting to save it by stuffing it into an envelope which was obviously not sealed. Everyone told me afterwards that any bat lying half dead on a street in daylight is rabid. I didn't sleep for two weeks! Scary stuff!Momishhttp://momish.squarespace.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10673240.post-1161019416215914422006-10-16T13:23:00.000-04:002006-10-16T13:23:00.000-04:00Hysterical!

IT sounds too much like my life, other than I have 3 boys and 1 girl and the husband is usually still asleep while the boys & friends run through the house chasing the bat!!! With their little sister's dress-up clothes covering their hair!!! Thank you for a Great Friday laugh!
