The experienced facilitator was discussing the strategic plan for our non-profit group. As she went to tack up a piece of paper on the board she quickly stopped, turned pale and moved as far away as possible.
Why? A BAT.
I would have started screaming but she was dignified and calm. She had been using the pin up board for about 30 minutes and had papers over the creature so didn't see it until then.
Most of the men in the group were brave (or pretended to be) and working together they trapped the vicious bat in a plastic garbage bag! All of the women went out in the hallway so the men could "concentrate"
The bat was turned loose and is no doubt finding a place to land in your home as you read this...
Happy Thursday!
My mom used to pay Neal and I $5 if we could kill the latest bat that was in our home in Whitehall. I remember one time seeing it on the wall, and smashing it with a tennis racket and then sweeping it into a brown paper bag and taking it out into the woods. thanks for the flashback!
