Barbara: It’s not fair.

A Texted Conversation from the Humane Society
Barbara (My 11-year-old daughter): OMG Mom! Is that a hamster?
Me: Yep! What do you think? He just came in.
Barbara: He is super cute! And not like Herman.
Me: Do you mean because he’s a different color?
Barbara: Yes, and he’s so small.
Me: No, it’s just the black fur, he’s another Siberian hamster. We’ll still have to use the rat cage.
Barbara: LOL, OK 😀
