bat

I was so organized! Everything was all packed and ready to go for our trip to Sammy's baptism in Detroit. Bob and I were getting ready to go to bed and get a good nights sleep so that we wouldn't be so tired starting out on the long trip when all of a sudden I saw a bird flying behind Bob around our bed! I didn't have my glasses on. Yes...it turned out to be a hugh bat! Where it came from we don't know. Bob quickly shut the bedroom door so it wouldn't fly out of the room. We thought of calling Darren to borrow his Tennis rackquet (or bat killer) but it was too late. "Get a towel and throw it over him" I screamed as the bat kept circleing around the bed. So Bob gets a towel and at first trys to make it fly out the window. I said, "Bob, you can't herd bats!" Then the bat disappears under our chair. He turns it over and the bat is nowhere to be found. After 5 minutes of looking, I venture out of the bathroom and lay down on the bed when suddenlythe bat appears from under our bed and circles overhead. I didn't scream. I just didn't move. Then I hear Bob repeating "Come little bat. Come to me! Come little bat." And would you believe, that bat did come to Bob and landed on the towel he was holding up. Bob threw it out the window. The bat flew away unhurt to bat land and we finally made it to bed but not early enough to be rested for our trip.
