So I see this sticker on a car in front of me and I'm like "rat mom? What the heck?" Apparently it IS a thing. Since then I googled it and there are rat mom decals, rat mom t-shirts and other merchandise available to buy on the internet...and then I found a video (see below) of a cute rat and her baby. As cute as a rat can be.
I remember growing up in Philadelphia and my mom was coming to pick me up at the YMCA in Germantown. It was raining like crazy, and a giant rat the size of a cat came out of the sewer and waddled up the street. That was definitely NOT cute! I was terrified it was going to eat me!
My mom hated rats. We used to hide a plastic one in different places just to hear her scream! Ha! Cruel kids. One time she got so scared at the rat in under-the-sink the cabinet, that she jumped onto one of the kitchen chairs, screaming. She used to hide fake roaches in our drinking cups in the bathroom as payback. But I digress....
