If your kid wants a hamster be aware of these facts:
1. Hamsters are nocturnal
2. They bite
3. They have a life span of two years
4. You have to clean their cage once a week and feed and water them daily.
5. They will be asleep every waking moment of the day and night until you decide that you want to have sex
Between the hamster running on that f*cking wheel for hours upon hours, my child waking screaming "my biscuit, my biscuit," and my Egyptian Heart Surgeon's pager going off....well, it's been interesting. Nonetheless I think I have a pretty excellent sex life.
Egypt's moving to the Northwest though. He's moving soon. For work. I wish it was the f*cking hamster that was going.
I haven't decided how I feel about this yet. I think I'm sad, but I'll get back to you.
