A Terrorist in the Kitchen!

What better way could there be to kickstart your day than having your children screaming in terror at the top of their lungs during breakfast?

Naturally, I rushed into the kitchen to see who had caught on fire.

Apart from two terrified children, I didn’t immediately see anything awry.

Then, out of the corner of my eye, I spotted something flying around.

It was a fucking bat, and a rather large one at that! I think it had a wingspan of about 5 inches.

The bats here are much larger than the tiny ones I am familiar with in Texas.

I opened all the doors wide and waved my hands above my head like a fool trying to shoo it out of the kitchen.

It’s just a shame that this farce was not captured on video. If ever there was a Kodak moment, this was it!

I’d love to see a Lucky Charms cereal commercial featuring a bat in the kitchen during breakfast while dad runs around in his boxers trying to shoo it away.

Tomorrow or the day after we will return from the village to our hotel in Madiun where the food is crappy but at least you don’t have bats flying around while your kids are having their oatmeal.

You don’t make memories like this at the Ritz Carlton!
