First, let me preface this story by saying that BabyGirl's mother lives in an ENORMOUS house. Three full floors, including the Attic. Built in the early 1900's, HUGE. Massive really. Would make an incredible bed and breakfast, but I digress.
I am in one of the many bedrooms on the second floor diligently doing my homework while BabyGirl's gets Katie to bed across the hall. I keep noticing out of the corner of my eye a suspicious shadow but I ignore it and keep working.
All of a sudden, I see a big shadow and look up to see a huge bat...well, not a huge bat..but a bat with huge wingspan, well, not a huge wingspan but a BAT. A bat is flying at me.
I am frozen for a second, pondering the risks of screaming and waking Katie...which went out the window when the damn thing lunged at me...well, maybe not lunged. Lunged may be exaggerating...but flew over my head. I screamed for BabyGirl who bravely comes running...well, crawling, into my room to assess the situation.
She runs for a bat swatter, -apparently this has been an ongoing issue at the 'mance' and would have been nice to know prior to my stay- so I, being a logical person, burrow under the pillows on the couch where I am sitting and leave BabyGirl to the task...who is, btw, in her underpants and a tee-shirt.
Her mother, a wiry old lady, proceeds to get the sitch under control. I am screaming at every movement of every thing. The bat flies down the staircase. Undaunted, Babygirl goes after it...all the way down...on her belly and in her underpants. The bat disappears.
The situation is not completely remedied until the following day when in a moment of genius, BabyGirl captures the bat against a wall by placing a lid over the bat. The bat hissed at her and called her a bitch. Well, no, he didn't call her that... However, he DID hiss and evil, vampiry sort of hiss that implies imminent danger though...or so I hear...I was not in the room. I was not in the house at that moment. Someone had to bravely look after the child, after all.
(I ain't gonna lie, I would have thrown Katie at the bat if it meant my immediate escape.)
