So when I went to pick up the little woman from girl scouts last night, she insisted I come in and see Emily's pet rats. And aren't they so cute? No, they are rodents. Now I always wanted a gerbil or a hamster when I was a kid. Never got one. My dad said no. Because they are rodents. When I grew up and could have had any pet that I wanted, it seemed I wanted cats more than rodents. And so it is.
Well the little miss thinks pet rats are now the coolest thing, but she seems to understand we won't be having one. She wanted to know if she could have one when she is a grown up. Yup, if she still wants one.
The whole time I am watching her with this rat I am thinking about our rat and our exterminator. Maybe she doesn't quite understand that the exterminator is setting out bait to kill our rat. I'm certainly now not looking forward to any kind of conversation about that. That said...no new signs of our rat so maybe, just maybe, we finally did it in.
