HI GUYS....Some of Nature's Greatest Masterpieces
Posted: Wed Jan 23, 2008 3:36 am
K-Spy/Insom, et al;
The night we came back, the basement was in an uproar --- a mess!
My favorite Mama Sita (yes, I do use them) seasonings were scattered all over the floor, pieces of leftover chocolates and wrappers on table tops, as well as pieces of ---only God knows where they came from ---plastic foam were all over.
No, THANK GOD. Yes, it could have been worse. Yes, we were invaded.
Despereaux (The Tale of …), Remy, his brother Emile, their father Django and the clan (Ratatouille) decided that since the house is empty, why not move in and have a party? Party they did.
We were too tired, I was too sick to start spring cleaning but it must be done. For the next two days, we cleaned, washed and disinfect.
The next step was very difficult and must be thought of very carefully. In the kids’ eyes, it meant breaking one of the 10 Commandments God handed over to Moses in Mt. Sanai.
Karlo very recently did a report on The Tale of Despereaux. And while in Arizona, they watched Ratatouille. These little "beings" are very dear to them.
But, it must be done.
A big hunk of a guy showed up with his ammunition ready for combat, and reclaim, defend our territory. He did what he had to do, leave us with an exorbitant bill and disappeared into the freezing wintery night.
K-Spy, as you know, Remy does his best to live the life of a gourmet. You also know that his clan not appreciating his talents puts him to work sniffing for rat poison on their food.
The kids and I prayed that Remy will not slack off or be negligent in performing his duties. We prayed that he'll smell death for what it is on the green pellets that the big hunk of a guy left in strategic places, (charged me an arm and a leg for it) warn his clan, and they move out and move on.
It’s been almost 2 weeks and we thought our prayers were answered until last night when I opened and found them dead in the utility closet. They were dead in the garage and behind the desk downstairs. So far, I’ve counted seven!!! It's a big family or, big party of friends!
The kids were wailing in a panic running upstairs (pitiable sight!). My husband, who’s a half PROMDI, can not bear to look at them scattered stiff. Paga ngiluhan. What touched me though was the 2 who were lying side by side dead in the garage. Husband/Wife? GF/BF? Brother/Sister? Sister/Sister? Brother/Brother?
The kids cried, lit a candle, cried some more at the thought that we killed them all, the Despereauxes.
When they (kids) settled down, we gave them (Despereauxes) what we thought was a decent burial. The ground is frozen so we cannot dig a hole deep enough. I gingerly put them in a shoebox, we gathered in the la toilette, we prayed and after we sang “Ave Mariaâ€Â, we flushed them out one by one into oblivion, infinity and beyond.
Ahhh... it's good to have one's house to one's self again....
Afterthought…..
Dumdum kaw nan diton kami tapos may palaka na gusto mo dungan kanato nan panihapon? Tapos paga pa lugwag ta? Sayang, I should have kissed him first. He may turn out to be a prince!
Tapos may isab helikopter na abtiki kaw gayod imo dayon paga pa --- now you see it, now you don’tâ€Â.
Dumduman kon ambaw, then inka dumduman ko dayon si Dobok? How is he doing?
