Recent events here in San Nicolás have reinforced that I made the right decision ten years ago (holy crap! It´s been ten years already!?!?) when I set my hamster free in a park.
A few weeks ago, the twins received two hamsters. One they named Bella and the other they named Jake. Yes, these are Twilight references. I guess they didn´t take it seriously that since one was male and one was female that they would do what bunnies do and make babies.
And make babies they did! Earlier this week, we discovered three tiny little hua huas (babies). However, a few nights ago, the house erupted into chaos when Vania discovered that one baby was missing. Tears, screaming, running around, yelling--you name it, it happened here. My house is fairly loud in general, but after this incident, wow. It´s amazing how loud everyone can get.
After the murder, the fam decided to give Jake to another family. Why they decided Jake killed the baby, I´ll never know. So Jake is now living happily separated from his baby mama and babies.
My jokes have been dead on due to this, which is fantastic because since my host mom is terribly loud, so are her reactions to my jokes. After we discovered the missing baby:
¨Creo que los padres tuvieron hambre anoche.¨
¨JESSIE!!!!¨
And my personal favorite, when we gave Jake away:
¨Pienso que encontramos el asesino.¨
¨JESSIE!!!! Qué asco!!!!!¨
The other two babies are still alive, but I think it´s only a matter of time before we realize we punished the wrong guy.
