I'm so Bored that I stole a hamster

I would like to preface the story by noting that it was a toy hamster, and that I was very young and on a lot of (legally prescribed) drugs at the time.

When I was on cancer treatment at St. Jude, there was a Child Life Specialist named Shaun.

Shaun had a dancing toy hamster that sang "Born to be wild" when you pressed its paw.

I think he called it Daryl, but I don't remember now.

Anyway, one day I decided to kidnap his hamster. I took it to my hospital room and hid it in a Saltine cracker box.

I no longer have the video of what happened next, but Shaun and some other members of the Child Life team came into my room dressed in surgical scrubs and carrying duck calls. 

Shaun refused to do the chicken dance in order to get his hamster back, and I refused to give up the hamster's location. I ended up taking the hamster home with me when I left the hospital. 

I mean, I couldn't hand him over to people dressed like this...

When I got home, I made the hamster an email account and a new name.

I emailed Shaun and told him that his hamster had been rescued, not kidnapped, by an organization which protects furry creatures, since he was tired of dancing for Shaun on demand. 

I sent Shaun pictures of his hamster lounging around a "resort" with Barbies.

And out on the town

I don't know what happened to the next set of photos, but I found a fluffy pink toy chicken in Walgreens. The chicken danced to the chicken dance, and so I  my mom bought her.

I named her Bertha, and I married her off to the hamster. 

I returned Bertha and the hamster to Shaun in a Kroger bag with a sign that said, "Just married."

Later, I found another dancing hamster in a store and I gave it to Shaun, saying that it was the first hamster's cousin who had just been let out of the loony bin. 

It's probably a good thing that Shaun moved away, or his dancing animal collection might have gotten out of control. 

Bored Game time!
