Dripping Wet
That's what I was doing as I finished up my shower ever so quickly because I saw a mouse tale hanging down the wall from a crack in the ceiling. I threw my towel on, rushed outside and asked the first boy I saw to go in my room and kill it. He didn't really understand me, so there's me, dripping wet, standing outside my door with my towel and flip flops on, moving my hands and fingers like little mouse feet, making a squeaking sound and pointing into my bathroom and at the ceiling. I think he finally got the point because he went into my bathroom, I remained outside my door leaning my head in, waiting for him to capture it. He came back out of the bathroom and shook his head yes, as if affirming that there was indeed a mouse in there. Then he walked out. I was like, um, hello I didn't want you to reassure me that there is a mouse in my bathroom, I want you to remove the mouse that is indeed in the bathroom. So I stood outside my room, probably with a dumbfounded look on my face, but then he returned with two more boys. My look changed to curiosity as I wondered what they were going to do. Two of the boys lifted Somoo up to the ceiling. He removed one of the ceiling tiles and like an acrobat climbed up into the ceiling. While he climbed around up there, one boy went and got a flashlight for him and one boy went and got a ladder. I continued to stand there with water dripping down. I couldn't help but just laugh. As Somoo searched up there for the mouse, he yelled to me "Andrea, no mother mouse, but many baby mouse". At first I thought I misunderstood him, but then Sopchai walked over to me with what Somoo handed to him from the ceiling. It was 7 baby mice. They didn't have any fur on them or anything....they looked like what a fetus looks like in the beginning stages. They kind of looked cute....but even though they were cute, I was glad that they were no longer in my ceiling. I can't believe I had a family of mice up in my ceiling. I caught one mouse in my room about a week ago and I figured that was the only mouse I had as my roommate, but little did I know I had 9. So now I caught one, Somoo caught 7, so that means there's still one to go. I'm setting out the mouse trap tonight, and then I'll be the only inhabitant of my room. I'm really looking forward to that :) Anyways, they packed up their mouse catching tools and joyfully walked out of my room. I could tell the boys were proud of their find. I had a disgusted look on my face, because I just found out that 9 mice were rooming with me, and that made all the children who were standing around watching all the commotion laugh hysterically. They all ask me "you afraid?". I tried to explain that I wasn't afraid just a little grossed out :) After they left my room, I had just enough time to change and then it was time to teach my English lesson. Definitely an eventful night that began with me dripping wet :)

:) it cracks me up picturing you and your little escapades! So have have to ask...were you squeaky clean!?
That's funny Chris. LOL Am a few days behind in my reading. Will catch up tommorow. Have to get up at 3AM and make a few deliveries. Andrea, I'm sure you will appreciate things a lot differently when you come back home. Glad you have a lot of helpers.
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! You're such a warrior, Andrea! Well, I guess God technically made you to be His princess, but even Cinderella had mice friends. :)
