heidi hamster

Over spring break in first grade I watched the class hamster, since no one would be in the school building. My brother Aaron loved Heidi and carried her around the house with him. One day he excitedly carried Heidi to my mom to show her something new. 'Look Mom,' he said, 'look how big her eyes get when I squeaze her like this.' My mom looked down to see a small hamster peaking it's head from my brother's fist with it's eyes bulging out of their sockets.
