If you get your kid a hamster

(Yes he is wearing a homemade birthday hat!)

She'll want a wheel to go with it.

If you buy her a wheel she will talk you into a plastic bed, feeding dish, water tube, a hamster house with larger square footage than the current house you are living in, and a princess carriage play wheel to walk around in, along with special teething treats, and particular bedding because cedar bedding isn't good for hamsters to breathe.

On the way home from the store she will see a sign that says there is a talent show for the best pets in the world, so she will want to get Humphrey an outfit and try out for the audition.

In order to get inspiration for the clothes she will want you to take her to the library to research books on hamsters.

Once she has all of the books published on hamsters from the library she will go home and ask you to take her hamster's measurements for a skirt.

After you have ignored the requests for sewing new outfits while you are trying to make dinner you notice all of your chopped vegetables have disappeared for the hamster's lunch. You then realize that an entire year of similar events like this has passed and it doesn't seem like a big deal to throw a birthday party for the family's one year old hamster.

So you make the hamster a birthday cake and the family sings happy birthday.

All of this is what happens when you buy a kid a hamster.
