I sat down to write something clever tonight but I kept getting interrupted with Jonah yelling, "I WANT A HAMSTER FROM THE PET STORE! I WANT A HAMSTER FROM THE PET STORE! I WANT A HAMSTER FROM THE PET STORE! I WANT A HAMSTER FROM THE PET STORE! I WANT A HAMSTER FROM THE PET STORE! I WANT A HAMSTER FROM THE PET STORE! I WANT A HAMSTER FROM THE PET STORE! I WANT A HAMSTER FROM THE PET STORE! I WANT A HAMSTER FROM THE PET STORE! I WANT A HAMSTER FROM THE PET STORE! I WANT A HAMSTER FROM THE PET STORE! I WANT A HAMSTER FROM THE PET STORE! I WANT A HAMSTER FROM THE PET STORE! I WANT A HAMSTER FROM THE PET STORE! I WANT A HAMSTER FROM THE PET STORE!"
I just went upstairs to talk with him about this new request. "I want a hamster from the pet store, Mom"
"But where will the hamster live?" I inquired.
"In a hamster cage [duh]."
"And what will the hamster eat?"
"Free water."
We've been talking about the fact that water doesn't cost money at most restaurants.
"And what happens if the hamster gets out of his cage?" I ask.
He mumbled something about taking the hamster to school.
I told him he'd have to talk to Pop and Grammy about getting him a hamster.
He's quiet now.

Jonah's no dummy....he knows Pop & Grammy will buy him a hamster! We'll be expecting a phone call tomorrow! :)
P.S. Will you be keeping the little critter at your house?
I remember Grammy bringing a hamster home from school one day. I believe it was over the Christmas holiday. She never had one on a full time basis. I think having it for that long, and having to take care of it, made her think she didn't want one.
Love, Grandma.
Well, at least he is not shouting for a puppy or a kitten...
You are so funny! Whenever my kids ask stuff like that, I always ask them, "What is Mommy's rule?" Then they go, "No rodents or reptiles." Granted, they still have to ask half the time if it is a rodent. You are super mom for letting him have one. Can't wait to hear about it.
