Today, my son's hamster died. It was overweight and got stuck in its plastic tube. My 6 year old son came downstairs to me smashing a plastic tube with a dead hamster in it on the kitchen table. He thinks I killed it. FML

Basically, he's had hamsters that have dies before, and we always gave them a funeral... so I didn't want to bury him in a plastic tube so my husband gave me the job of removing the hamster....

You should have blown it out. It would have been hilarious if the fat, dead hamster hit your kid like a blowgun dart. Hilarious for us; years of therapy for the kid.

"And THAT is why you should have eaten your veggies, you furry little ************." Take this as an opportunity to show your son you *really* mean it when you tell him to eat his vegetables.

Yeh but when I first read it, I actually thought she meant the kid cam downstairs and smashed the plastic tube... "came downstairs to me, smashing a plastic tube..." I know that doesn't really make much sense, but it was the way I read it! After I read a few comments I gathered it was actually the mother. That may just be me being a bit slow though?

Maybe stop getting him pets if they keep dying. Hamsters should live for like 5 years if you are taking care of them correctly.

wow, sad thing is, this is EXACTLY how obese and fatasses in America end up dying. The reports about heart attacks and kidney failure and whatnot are just coverups for the fact that this actually happens =P

I hope you're joking, because what you are describing is like what happened in Charlie and the chocolate factory to that kid

I misread this initially too, in that I pictured the son coming downstairs beating the hamster-filled coffin tube thingy on the kitchen table, but on re-reading it's clear that the OP was trying to remove the dead hamster when the kid has walked in mid-swing as he sees his mother apparently murdering his hamster with a hammer. A very worthy FML, and the hamster's nose falling off is just priceless. While we're at it, OP is cool for replying to comments.

If you can't cope with that, you're a bad parent.

Actually, we gave my son the responsibility of feeding it so that he learnt to be caring...

Hamsters are terrible pets for little children. They die too frequently, especially in the care of someone who doesn't even know how to tie a tie properly. Congrats, you're now known as the Hamster-killer.

Actually, it's helpful to teach my child about death, and they are small enough to have as a city pet. This hamster died of a stroke, so not like starvation or anything. Plus, petstore hamsters are inbred, so have weak immune systems and do die young.

bahahaha That's unfortunate :( I had a fat hamster. One night when I got home I peeked through the cage and was like "SH*T! THE HAMSTER ESCAPED!" And then I noticed little legs kicking. It got stuck on it's back, in between the wheel and the top of the cage. Poor little guy. First thing he did when I pulled him out was run to his water bottle lol
