Wait why would your dad care about how your friend treated his pet

#98 her friend's dad

My bad thanks for the clarification

I have a six year old and he's competent enough to know that only food goes in the microwave. And that anything that goes in gets "burning hot!" An 8 year old should know better.

#39 an 8 year old should know better but it relies on the parent to teach the kid to "know better"

My 7 year old knows not to put anything live in the microwave. It's disgusting that you're defending his actions and saying he probably didn't know better. At 8 you DO know better

Are you fuked up? "Hes eight" aint a fukin' reason to do so. I swear i would report the guy if i lived closet. Fukin assholes. Hope he dies microwaved. Fukin asshole

Are you kidding I bet half of you don't understand how a microwave works, let alone an eight year old. Okay you may now go google it and thumb me down.

I am well aware of how a microwave works. What that has to do with the fact that an 8 year old should know better than to put his hamster in it, I dont know. There is no reason, minus the child being mentally handicapped, that he wouldnt know better. You'd have to shelter the hell out of your kid for them to not know that living creature+microwave=death by 8 years old

Only a complete dumbass doesn't know how a microwave works. What the hell does that have to do with the FML? At 8, you're smart enough to know not to put a non food item in the microwave.

It has to do with it because I could see an 8 year old believing that it would just make the hamster radioactive and not kill it if he didn't put it in too long so that it didn't get hot. I could see an 8 year old thinking he could use it to warm up his hamster or dry it off. Like hmmm mommy put food in their yesterday and it got hot, so if I put the hamster in their it'll warm him up/dry him off, as long as I don't make him too hot, he'll be fine. It was his parents' responsibility to make sure he knew non-food never went in the microwave because it'll die/break the microwave. Obviously they neglected to teach the child that. An 8 year old should also be supervised around pets, hamsters can bite if scared (something kids making loud noises and fast movements can achieve), easily get accidentally stepped on by a child, get squeezed by hands that don't realize how fragile such a small animal is (especially if it tries to wiggle away, a child's reaction will be to squeeze tighter). A child should not be alone in the kitchen, at all, regardless of what he did to his hamster he could have turned on the stove and caused a fire just as easily, cut himself with a knife playing with it (not necessarily trying to hurt anything or one, but I remember I tried to play with an unplugged blender as a child, because I thought I didn't realize how sharp it was).

I'm nearly seventeen and I still don't know exactly how a microwave works. All I know is pizza pockets are inedible without them.
