Hamsters

I took the Terrors with me to visit the high schools where I used to work. I was collecting reference letters to include in my job applications out of the territory. As we stood in the principal's office, waiting for the printer to spit out my letter, he said "I remember traveling with kids. It's like herding hamsters. They're small, they're cute, they move really fast and get into everything." That pretty much sums it up. He forgot that sometimes, they bite, too.

It's funny. Whenever anybody sees me dealing with my hellions, they nod, smile and sympathize, but I'm sure they're glad as hell when we leave.
