Not all our visitors have been Chinese people. About a month ago the following scene occurs.

(Mike cozy in bed sleeping peacefully after a long day of China. Emily enters the bedroom and closes the door quickly)

Emily whispers: Sweetie, are you awake? (obviously he isn't)

There's a bat in our house.

Mike: Are you serious?

(long pause)

Mike: Where?

Emily: In the dinning room.

(another long pause)

Mike: Do you think you will be able to fall asleep if I don't go get it?

Emily: (a little surprised) Umm.... I can try.

(the lights are turned off and about one minute passes)

Mike: You're still awake aren't you. (Big sigh) Fine.

My wonderful husband arose from his blissful slumber. Armed only with a pillow case and a frisbee, he heroically left the safety of the bedroom to attack the savage beast.
