j: It’s a RAT!!! EXCUSE ME! IT’S THERE IT’S THERE!
i: Where where! We go and find!
j: THERE!!!! It tried to run in through the glass door but couldn’t then went back to the seats! MAKE IT GO AWAY!

rat-chase ensues, and j runs indoors, away from the rat

b: TAKE BOILING WATER! KILL IT!

w swoons.. (My hero!)

[5 minutes later]

someone runs out with a MUG of boiling water.

v: Er..?
w: Are you suuuure that’s enough?
v: I think maybe not…….

v & w snicker in the corner while trying not to look too humji

b: Aiya. Like that how to kill the rat! Is there a stick? If no hot water, then must take a POLE and POKE IT. It’s either impale it or use a kettle of boiling water!
w: I think maybe boiling water only by the mug here.
v: Wah. Why your hero so BRAVE one!
i: OH BUT IT’S SO SMALL! It’s just like a little hamster! So small! With big ears! It’s not a rat!
w: Mayyyybe…… it’s a baby rat? That will grow up into a large rat?
i: NO! IT’S NOT A RAT! IT’S JUST.. IT’S JUST A MICE!

w & v glance at each other, then bolt indoors, dying of laughter. tension from mouse-hamster-rat instantly diffused.

Most fun I’ve had in a while. But it’s always fun to see how some people don’t change very much from when they were small and already had in-built projectile-launchers in their bellies. :)
