A bat in the house

I am a sorority house mom. The job creates loads of interesting and completely ridiculous stories, this is one of them:

So I find out yesterday that we have a bat in the house. A bat that has been there since FRIDAY and no one told me. Seriously, how hard is it for 1 girl to call me and tell me something. There are 27 of them! 1 of them could have called me.

I called humane animal removal to come get the thing and while I'm waiting I find it hiding in the living room. Some of the girls don't care, but most of the girls proceed to freak out at the very mention of the word, BAT. So I hang out and make sure no one tries to catch the little buggar themselves.

Eventually the pest guy shows up and the girls start refering to him as batman almost immediately. He's shy and young and I think the very prescence of 27 odd screaming girls is kind of freaking him out, but he hides it well.

7 of the girls decide they want to stay and watch him catch the bat because they've never seen a bat up close. I agree mainly because I'm a big fan of animal education, and they should learn that bats aren't dangerous creatures.

The next 3 minutes of my life are something out of a movie. The guy goes to grab the bat and it takes off and starts flying around the room. Screams erupt immediately and all 7 girls hit the floor like shots had been fired. 2 of them actually dove to the ground. He finally catches it and they all gather around with exclamations of "it's so small!" "it's just a baby!" "he's so cute!"

So if I let him go again would you still think he was cute?

Anyway we let him go outside and he flew away.

Moral of the this story: IF YOU LEAVE THE FRONT DOOR PROP OPEN WE WILL GET UNINVITED VISITORS
