I will admit I have an irrational fear of rodents. Rats, mice, gerbils, guinea pigs, even hamsters. Walking past the rodent section at PETCO sends chills down my spine and makes me feel sick to my stomach. I have made this perfectly clear to all of the children since there has been several rat sightings in the dorms recently.
So it should not have come as a surprise when they all heard me screaming the other night... apparently even with my fair warning they were not prepared for what they heard.
I was just minding my own business walking to my room when i flipped on the hallway light and a big back blob of fur ran past me. The seconds that followed were filled with the sound of my screams cut short by the sound of my hyperventilation and the pounding noise my feet made as I ran away as fast as I could.
Since then I have turned my mosquito net into a rat net.
Love ( for everyone but the rats),
Niamh
