Are you ready for the grossest story of the year? I know it's only March, but still, get ready for the heeby-jeebies! So yesterday I drove Joel's car to several different church meetings. It was Sunday, right, so I was in a dress and high-heal sandals, complete with bare legs and feet. As I was driving through out the day, I kept feeling something touching my leg. Something soft and sort of prickly. At first I thought my leg was just falling asleep, but then I felt it on my other leg. "Gross", I thought, "there is a HUGE moth or something down there fluttering around my legs!". So when I got to the church for my last meeting of the day, I left the windows down hoping it would fly out by the time I had to get back in there and drive home. Not so. As I put the car in reverse, I felt it again, something big and furry rubbing against my bare legs. I jerked the e-brake, turned on the light and looked down. Anyone want to guess what was staring up at me from between my feet?
A RAT!!!!! A big black hairy one.
Seriously, it was like the size of my foot! I screamed and jumped out and started doing the heeby-jeebies dance in the parking lot. Some brave men heard the commotion and came running with sticks to help, but that creepy guy was determined to stay. So to make a long story short, I left the car there, came home with my friend Stefani, and made Joel go back and drive it home. We tried for a while to get it out, and then decided to break the Sabbath and go buy a rat trap. But the trap was still empty this morning, so Joel got to drive to work today with some company. AAAAHHHH! My skin is still crawling. I hope it is a Mesa rat and decides to get out or die while Joel is at work, instead of in our Queen Creek driveway.
.....on second thougth, maybe we'll catch it and keep it as a pet. We'll lavish it with soft pink slippers and take rat glamour shots
Then we'll breed it and have a rat community for our babies to bathe in pools of milk with
Not really...these last two pictures were just some freaky photos I found on line.
Anyways, gross, hu!

Um, what?! I am NEVER moving to the 'QC'. How did a rat get into your car?
Yuck! I think I would have hysterics if I discovered a rat in my car!
SICK! Oh my gosh that is so disgusting! I've never heard of anything like that happening Lisa- oooh! The hair on the back of my neck is still standing! So sorry you had to experience that.
Yuck!!! Excuse me while I go take a shower! How in the world did it get in there!?
I cannot believe that! That trumps just about any other gross story I've heard. P.S. Was the picture of the baby with the rat on the CPS website? I hope so!!
That is awesome! You better be careful though...I have seen rats chew cables in half in a truck, making it not start any more. Good luck with that one :)
Your lucky you didn't have an accident. That is so gross Lisa! I am so glad you survived it. Let us know how the story ends.
Next time you do the "heeby-jeebies" dance - get it on tape.
I agree with making Joel drive the car home! Makes my skin crawl just thinking about it. I think I need to put on long pants for today. Yuck!!!
Oh my gosh! I just jumped out of my chair when i read this!!!!! How on earth did a Rat get in your car.... you haven't noticed any in your house or the neighborhood, right.....?
That is such a horrible story! I can't believe you went all day with that thing in the car! Eeeeek! My sister in law got a small rat in her car in that area a few years back. She took it with her to Colorado...
Hey Lisa this is Lindsey Jen's daughter. this was such a gross thing. i am so sorry that it happened. that had to be so much fun.
Oh, Lisa what a experience. I wish I could have seen that dance you did in the parking lot, HA!
