Mousse Makes her Debut...

Last night almost went perfectly...the house was clean, the idali and sambar was perfection, the sheets covered the carpet, and Mousse was locked in the Laundry Room. What could go wrong? Apparently, a whole lot...

An unsuspecting Amachi had the urge to go the bathroom during the middle of prayer. She walked down the hall, past the bathroom, to my room. When she opened, she discovered it was a room and opened the other door. She discovered that was a room as well, so she opened the third door. A large, brown, monsterous animal emerged from the depths of darkness nearly causing the amachi to have a mild myocardial infarction. She jumped into my bedroom in fear of getting attacked.

Meanwhile, Mousse was ever-so-grateful to the sweet little Amachi. She was getting bored in the laundry room and was quite curious about all the noise emerging from the living room. She knew people were in the house and wanted to go introduce herself....

Upon her noticing her presence...old ladies started going crazy. Some jumped behind the TV set...while others jumped behind seemingly fearless other old ladies. Mousse couldn't understand why everyone was going crazy...so she just stood in the middle of the room and looked at all the old ladies scattering for shelter.

Finally the maternal unit jumps up in sheer horror, wrestles Mousse, and drags her back to her quarters. Thus ended my mom's social gala of the year. Luckily, the ladies were still up for some idali and sambar after the horrifying experience...so I guess the whole night wasn't shot. I only wish I could have witnessed it!
