My cute little baby bat

I was in the in-between stage of waking up Tuesday morning when I heard a thumping noise and felt my bed bounce, so I thought I had randomly hit my the bed with my arm, turned over, and I slept some more. Then I felt it again. The bounce. This time I turned my head to the left, opened my right eye, jumped out of my bed, arms flailing, and yelled like a startled girl . I thought it was a mouse and thought, "Great, like I need a mouse problem," and then it flew at me. Of course I didn't want to kill it once I realized it was a cute little baby bat and it seemed to be trying SO hard to get out. It flew around the room some more and then landed on the wall across from me, and then to the main window, and then back to my bed where for just a brief moment it turned upside down as if it wanted to fall asleep. I left the room trying to think of a plan to help it out without killing it, and nothing pleasant came to mind. I really didn't want touch it. I mean, what if it had rabies? The easiest thing to do would be to get one of the screens open and shoo it out. When I got back in the room it was on the big window screen and was trying to squeeze his way through the window. Well that would explain how he got in. Amazing. Then it decided to fly to another window and try, so I attempted to open up the screen on the big window , and I thought I had failed. Then I gave up. It flew back to the large screen, so I went and got a brown paper lunch bag and set it underneath it hoping it would crawl into the bag. That didn't work and soon it had stopped moving and was laying upside down and fell asleep. It must have been asleep because I realized I actually had gotten the screen to swing open enough to let the bat out, and when I tapped, then poked, and then vigoursly moved the screen which then piveted open. YEA! Except the cute little baby bat had no interest in waking up; it WAS daytime after all . I left the screen open and closed the window and am hoped it will be gone by the time I got home. He looked so cute sleeping all upside down and furry with it's beady nightvision eyes and his cute little talons looped so preciously around the mesh screen. "Good night Batty!" I thought about what I would do if Batty choose not to leave. Maybe I would keep yelling at it to "Shoo! Go away you dumb Bat! I barely have enough money to feed myself! Where would you sleep! You don't want to be in a cage. Don't LOOK at me like that!" Then I would start singing, "Dumb Bat, why are you following me..." cause I would just have to. Well, all my worry was for not for when I arrived home, Batty was gone. I will miss you Batty.
