My hamster is killing hisself!

Everyone had said goodnight and gone to thier rooms to go to bed. I had just found what I wanted to see on television and got into bed. Peace and queit,doors locked and rest on the way.Being a single mother this was a luxury. Amen!!

I muted the television because I heard something. Waiting and listening was making my heart pound.What can disrupting my time?

I hear my 8 year son screaming, crying and running through the house like a wild animal. I threw the covers back and jump from the bed to run to met him. "Son, whats the matter?" I ask. He replied,"My hampster is killing himself!!! Hurry,Mom!! You can save him, you are a nurse."

I have all sorts of ideas running through my mind as to what has happen to this hampster, that he has only had for a few days. We get to my sons room and there in his cage is the hampster just standing there looking at us. His jaws are huge. I ask my son, "Why is his jaws like that?"

"I put these cubes in there for him," he said through his tears.

I am trying my best not to laugh I hear the girls run giggling. "Son, I think he is okay he is just storing his food. He will be fine." After awhile, I tucked my son back in bed,  covered the hampster, and went off to bed to have my laugh.

The hampster lived and we all got a good nights sleep.
