armchairs, kittens and rats, oh my!

So today we had a surprise guest at the cultural center. Don't mistake the Russian world kreslo (armchair) for the Russian word krisa (rat). We did not have an armchair visit us today, but a RAT! And not just any rat as the SQUEALS of the girls notified the entire building. A BIG RAT! Easily the size of a normal cat. In fact, after a lengthy discussion about the topic, we decided a rat trap would most likely be BROKEN by this rat, we would instead have to poison her (it's so fun that pronouns have gender in Russian. Rats are girls).

So Victoria is going to be our special little assassin and buy some tasty poison for our little lady and then we'll just find her body later when we clean out the closet where she's made her home. Let's all just pray that she's not made a NEST!

It really is creepy if I'm honest, because the center is already a basement...
