The kind of fun we had in my classroom every Friday at the end of the day!

A Mommom Memory❤️

 

One time, when we were kids, a bat had somehow gotten into the house.  

(True story!)

Mommom was visiting this one particular weekend.  Suddenly, my Mom, and all my siblings started screaming upstairs!  

Mommom and I bolted up the steps to find a bat flying up and down the hallway.  Mom and my  siblings were huddled behind the bed in a back bedroom, screaming away!

Mommom immediately snapped into action!  

She told me to go downstairs and get her a broom, a pair of pliers, and a jar with a lid. 

So I did.  

When I got back with the items she pretty-much looked just like this (See the picture below, minus the mask, and add a veil over her head. This looks JUST LIKE HER!  Not my picture.  Credit goes to the anonymous artist).  

She had somehow gotten the bat into the front bedroom.  

She looked at me, and in all seriousness she said…  

 “I’m going in!”  

I told her I was going with her.  

We walked in, and shut the door behind us.

While in the room, Mommom stood near the center, in a perfect warrior’s stance…the broom wielded like Excalibur! 

The bat is circling, and circling.  

She swings, misses.  She swings again, misses.  She swings again and knocks that flittermouse into oblivion! 

It bounced off the wall, and landed on the carpet.  Poor thing didn’t know what hit it!  

With the pliers, she grabbed it by the wing, and calmly lifted it.  She gave it a look over, then placed the dead bat into the jar, and screwed the lid on tight!  

  “Go take this out to the trash,” she said.  

Like the good squire that I was, I took it!  

Such an amazing, unforgettable event! 🦇
