You know that scene from Holy Grail where the killer bunny is jumping at the throats of the knights? The chipmunk was kinda like that, launching across the room from the top of the radiator, aiming for the flashlight in my one hand, when I first started chasing it around the bedroom with the broom. I had the door closed to keep it trapped in the one room. I chased it around and around the room, with all the windows open, just hoping it would eventually veer out one of the windows. Me in my boxers and undershirt all goosebumpy and spooked out but chasing it anyway. Took about 5 minutes and I really wore it down. It was dragging as it slowly climbed up the wall and out the window. Chipmunks don't have stamina.
My wife had stuffed the bathroom rug under the bottom of the bedroom door, and was waiting out in the safe hallway. The kids never woke up.
I wish I had a video of it. I'd post it here. I'm sure you'd all have a laugh.
