Hamster

I cannot use the hamster as a weapon anymore as the kids have found out that I am terrified to touch it. So now they are using it against me ! How did this happen ? In one short week I am reduced from a despotic house tyrant to a nervous wreck. Whenever the kids want candy and ice-cream, see Disney channel until midnight, or play Playstation until 02.00 am, they just take the hamster out of the cage and start walking towards me. There is a lot of running in the house at the moment. But being Pangloss again, this might be good for my diet.
