I did have a pet mouse that I watched turned into an adorable rat while growing up. It was the cutest most tamest rat you ever came across. Before it became my pet it was already a tamed rat. This tiny lil monster would scurry unto the table and ate crumbs,and when you came out to shoo it away the rat would not run but instead stare at you with its sparkly beady eyes and carried on munching.
I gave it a name and never tried to shoo it away anymore,whenever we are eating at the table, it is there eating too,then when it became full and fattened, it would scurry back into its tiny nest in the kitchen.
It gave me so much joy having a pet rat that I did not have to tame. Then one day I noticed that the rat did not come out of its hole to munch at the table;then a week pass we noticed there was no sign of the rat.
We became worried and started to look for the rat, We looked every were for her/him but couldnt find it,we contemplated that maybe our furry pet is most likely hibernating and when it is hungry it will come out, but never saw it again. We were sad and pined over losing our tiny beastly friend. Then it suddenly dawned on us that the rat went missing right around the same time that we got a pet cat.
Whenever I hear this 1986 UB40 song it brought back memories of my pet rat and it made me sad;Rat in the Kitchen is the seventh album by UB40, released in July 1986. Music video by UB40 performing Rat In Mi Kitchen / Live In Moscow Russia,The only video of them performing rat in the kitchen that I could find.
Is there a song that bring back special memories in your life? whether its sad or happiness then I would like to hear about it in the comments section.
