Ask Baba Yaga: How Can I Live With Such A Large Rat?

Vasilissa Most Lovely by Robin Jacques
Although today's question appears fairly specific, there are many variations on this theme - and Baba Yaga's answer gives food for thought (and perhaps explains a thing or two).

Today's timely question and answer (via poet and oracle Taisia Kitaiskaia* of The Hairpin):
(Originally posted at The Hairpin HERE)

"...nightly gnawings at the heart." That does explain why under certain circumstances it can be so difficult to sleep. 

Wishing you all rat free rest this weekend.

What do you think of Baba Yaga's advice?

Want to ask Baba Yaga a question of your own?
You can!
There's now an email address where you can send your questions
directly to Baba Yaga herself.
AskBabaYaga AT gmail DOT com
To encourage Baba Yaga to continue imparting her no-bones-about-it wisdom (ok, there may be some gristle in there... bones too), I suggest we not to leave her box empty... 

Thank you Baba Yaga (& Taisia).
