I have been keeping 41 pets at home: mice, turtles and rabbits. But golden hanmsters are my favorite. I am always surprised by 42 cute they can be.

It was summer when I first 43 two golden hamsters. They 44 brown, about the size of my hand. When I 45 by, they were cracking melon seeds (嗑瓜子). They did that as 46 as any human! I was so amused (逗乐) that I bought them at once.

The only one who was not happy to see the newcomers was my 47 . She thought 48 would make our home dirty all the time. So I made a 49 for them on the balcony (阳台).

Hamsters always want people to look at them. They try to get noticed by raising the front part of their body, 50 they watch you come and go until you stop and talk to them. Watch out when they start to roller-turn in their cage (笼子). They won’t stop 51 you have tears of laugher!

I usually get up at 5:00. I make coffee, go to my desk and work. When my boys get up, I’m theirs. I follow the min to the kitchen and make them breakfast. While they’re eating, I make their lunch, pick out their school clothes and get the little one dressed.

    My wife takes them to school. I bring them home. I am not the only father at the school gate. The boys and I walk the 12 blocks home unless the weather is terrible. Then we take the subway. I remind them of looking out, like an animal looking after their babies.

    At home, they play on the computer and the little one will draw, sometimes for hours. When their mother comes home, they run to her. She has been in the official day and tired, but her attention is all on them.

    I have made dinner. We sit down and eat together. After they do their homework, Karen takes them to bed. I listen to the noise of the boys’ and their mother’s voice.

    One afternoon when we were on the way home from school, the boys and I stopped at the clothing store. The saleswoman looked at the boys and said to me in a low voice, “You’re Mr. Mom, aren’t you?” I felt very angry. I’m not Mr. Mom. That’s not how I look at myself. The boys have a mother, a wonderful mother. She works outside the home, I work in the home. We are parents together. I’m a father!
