AND the men have found themselves a pet.
Last week, I saw rat cages set up around the perimeter of the construction site. Today, I saw a little rat in one of the cages. It's the size of half my fist, has a twitchy nose and black beady eyes. It shared the cage with titbits of all sorts that the group of rough and tough machos threw in. Who would have thought that this band of roughs and toughs had hearts so tender that they would adopt a pet RAT?
It certainly isn't something Picky Petunia would do. Rats and the Black Plague remain a strong association in my mind but this was a baby rat with a bald spot on its back. It looked cute, very scared and quite harmless, BUT both The Husband and I refused to bring it home. Firstly, it isn't our pet. Secondly, if it ever turns out to be a Girl Rat who'll grow up into a Woman Rat, who'll give birth to a bunch of Baby Rats, we're done for.
No way.
And now I worry. What if Macho Construction Workers' Cute Pet Rat runs off and gives birth to Baby Rats? And if there is ONE baby, surely there are others? And if there are others, surely there is a Big Momma somewhere. Oh dear! Oh dear! Oh dear! And we will be moving into that house. How ah?

Send Rusty! I have to tell you that you can't avoid having rats in a landed house. My parent's house used to have an entire family running about in the ceiling all night.
rat? I will jump out of scariness!
Ting - Really? Oh dear!!
Malar - It didn't look like a rat 'cos it was a baby. Otherwise, I would have freaked out too!!
