Mickey this ain't! - part 1

It all started two days ago, during our pre-dawn breakfast...

Mom: (out of the corner of her eye, spots something running really fast) Eh, afterwards get the spray. I saw a really big cockroach run into the TV room.

Me: !!! Shite. How am I gonna watch That 70's Show now?! *Contemplates going upstairs to watch it instead of remaining on the first floor*

Khairi: Well, since I'm done eating, let me go and check it out first.

Me: Be careful, brother. You know what happens when cockroaches get near us!

Mom: You scream and run around like little girls?

Me: Yes.

Khairi enters TV room, switches on That 70's Show. I enter the TV room a few minutes after that, guerilla style. I keep an eye on the floor, under the furniture and in between the drumset, as well as near the cupboards.

Me: Hmmm...no sign of any bastard cockroach.

Khairi: Yep. I guessed just as much. But just to be safe, I ain't sitting on the sofa, man.

Me: Haw, haw! Maybe Mom thought she saw a cockroach, but she just imagined it!

Me and Khairi: Hahahahahahaha!

*NOT Mickey decides to make an appearance by darting out from behind of Karaoke CPU (the one place we did not scan!) and then darting back in. Me and Khairi blink a few times before looking at each other and thinking "OH."*

Me: Moooooooooom! We found your cockroach!

Mom: Oh, good. Get the spray and kill it.

Me: Oh, we'll definitely spray it, allright. But this ain't no cockroach!

Mom: Really? What is it, then?

Me and Khairi: It's a MOUSE.

Mom: Oh, great! Well, do something! Don't just sit there watching TV!

*But guys being guys, me and Khairi wanted to finish watching That 70's Show first! Hahaha. Hey c'mon, it was a fun episode! It was the one where Jackie realized and wanted to confess that she was in love with Fez! Anyway, Khairi and I agree to close the TV room sliding doors, all the while keeping the flashlight focused on the mouse, WHILE watching That 70's Show. Big mistake.*

Me: Well, that was a good episode! Now let's get to tackling that mouse! I'm gonna spray behind the karaoke CPU and TV set. Khairi, you standby and let me know if he runs towards you.

*Images of kamikaze mice running up my leg and chewing on my gonads spring to mind, so I tell Khairi to get a chair ready and stand on it, just in case. He heeds my advice, and stands on the chair while keeping both eyes on the Karaoke CPU.*

Me: (Sprays Ridsect at full blast towards Karaoke CPU and TV) Diiiiiiiiiiiiiie you squeaky little menace! I'll teach you to hide behind my TV and chew on the wires! Diiiiiiiiiiiiiiie!

*At this point, things get interesting. So creeped out by the prospect of having the mouse crawl up his leg and shred his gonads that while squatting on the chair, Khairi accidentally swats a glass on the table and smashes it to bits!*

Mom: (Bursts into the TV room) What happened? Is the mouse wreaking havoc? You all should have removed all the glasses and breakable items from the room!

Me: Relax, Mom. That was Khairi the Mouse, and he just smashed a glass by accident out of paranoia.

*As I continue to spray (lots and lots of it), the mouse does not show any sign of making an appearance. Khairi and I get desperate, so we remove all the drawers where the TV set is and open the cupboard doors beside it. Lo and behold, the fella has DISAPPEARED!*
