After cleaning the hamster cage & putting in some fresh food, papa announced to the children: ” The hamster is eating dinner now!”
Ruth responded: ” the hamster’s not supposed to eat dinner, it hasn’t prayed (say grace before meals) yet!”
Mommy: “oh why not you help the hamster to pray?”
Ruth (with a very concerned look): ” but I don’t know how to hold the hamster’s hands!”
This is really funny… Love the way you write the story too. The punchline comes across…
