many-splendored-rat:

I feel like this needs a “so painfully adorable it could result in DEATH” warning attached to it.

I should probably never get a pregnant female. My conversations with everyone would go like this:
person: “So, Lisa, how are things?”
me: “BABIEZ! I HAVE LITTLE BABY RATS AT MY HOUSE, LITTLE RATLINGS.”
person: “Uhh…that’s good. Did you see Desperate Housewives last night?”
me: “THERE ARE SO MANY LITTLE RATLINGS THEY ARE ADORABLE I LIKE TO POKE AT THEIR LITTLE NOSES AND EARS.”
person: “Umm…nice weather, huh?”
me: “YES, THE RATLINGS ARE VERY NICE. AAAAH BABIEZ BABIEZ BABIEZ.”
