Episode: 215
Original Air Date: 11/26/00
I never would've guessed so much could happen on a school night. I was enjoying my favorite part of the day: the twilight between school ending and parents coming home. The time when kids rule the earth. Then Dad came home all excited about something he found in the trash. It was this huge, junky armoire that he wanted to fix up for Mom for their anniversary. Naturally, we all had to help.
 It weighed a ton, but we managed to drag it into the living room with minimal damage (it was an ugly lamp anyway). When Dad opened the huge double doors, he thought the thing was filled with hundreds of bow ties. That seemed pretty weird. We looked closer and realized it was really filled with bats! Reese screamed like a girl when they all flew out and scattered throughout the house. Okay, we all screamed like girls, even Dad.
When Dad found out how much an exterminator cost, he decided it was up to us to catch all of the flying rats before Mom got home. We covered up from head to toe and armed ourselves with baseball bats, fishing nets and hockey sticks. Reese thought it would be funny to throw Mom's bra at me and scare me into thinking it was bat. Ha, ha. What was hilarious was when a real bat landed on Reese's shoulder and Dewey and I got to beat the crap out of him. You know, to scare the bat.
For a while we camped out in a tent in the living room. But the bats found us there, too. That was the last straw for Dad. We launched a full-blown bat assault and got rid of every last one of them using the vacuum, Silly String, and we even used Dewey as bait. Then all we had to do was clean up the house before Mom got home. I think fighting bats was easier.
