My First Pet
You wanna know what is my first pet? I thought it was fishes until they grew legs and hop out of my mini aquarium one day. I know you are laughing at me now. Go ahead and laugh. I was a kampong girl okay, I don’t have the privilege of owning encyclopedia. I learn from my surrounding not from the book. Since that day, I know that little black fish that looks like sperm is tadpole.
My eldest has been asking for a pet and she specifically wants a hamster. She is only 5yo and I think she is too young to understand about pet care. I worried that she will want to touch and hold the hamster tight every second and will cause the poor animal to suffocate. Just like what she did to the chicks! So I told her that she will only get a pet when she is 7yo. Well, hamster will be her 7yo birthday present.
