Disillusioned Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 About 14 years ago, we had rats in the attic crawl space. My mother got this brilliant idea of setting a ladder under the access hatch and climbing up in there armed with my granny's .22 revolver so she could shoot this rat. Well, she was stumbling around up there on her hands and knees and I stuck my head up through the hatch and shined the flashlight around... we saw this little grey rat cowering terrified in a corner... allofasudden my mother starts freaking and squawking, she just about peed herself and was too panicked to take a shot at that rat. It was about 10 more minutes before she cooled down enough to get back down out of the crawl space with the totally useless pistol. Has your mother ever done anything that cockamamy?
sb129 Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 Oh my. Do you think your mother should be allowed to handle a firearm at all? My mother has lots of harebrained ideas, and since my Dad died, there isn't anyone to tell her how stupid they are before she goes off and puts them into action. Most recent one is she connected up a tap that my dad had told her never to use. Drained the entire water tank within an hour and she was left with no water...
Author Disillusioned Posted October 12, 2010 Author Posted October 12, 2010 I used to think my mother's illogic was strange enough... then my neighbor's mother turned out to be even more strange and illogical! I swear, women's logic brain cells fry when they get pregnant. Dads too.
