The boys informed us one day that they had a great idea! They came up with a contract to keep their room clean for a month. If they kept it up they would finally get a real live pet! We've told them for years to keep their room clean. Never happens!
Now, we've had pets before. We've had fish (many fish), two dogs (at Grandmas') and a tamagatchi (virtual pet).
They all count, don't they?
Well you wouldn't believe it? They are actually going to win this bet. We thought for sure they were going to forget like they always do. Not this time. They're getting too smart! What am I going to do with a furry, smelly, noise making pet? Oh, I forgot to mention, they want a hamster. Those little critters bite, too.
Well, I better go, we're heading to the pet store! Yag! (Dragging feet)

do they both get a hamster? twice the fun, or will they just fight over one.
At least you can keep the hamster in a cage. It's hard to do that with a bigger pet. Keep the hamster in the boys room...and make them continue to keep the room clean or the hamster goes back.
well,just remind them pets are for life. it's good bcoz it teach the kids to be a responsible person. it will be fun in keeping the pets healthy.make it a challenge to them!
