Is the class pet just another way to make us look like bad Moms?
Tell us the truth: Have you ever had a run-in with the class pet?
Jill from Mom•Logic had a bit of a hamster disaster:
"I looked at the sign-up sheet in my daughter's kindergarten class with a bit of uneasiness--adopt Oreo the hamster for the weekend? Despite the fact that we already have a dog and two cats, we caved in to the pressure of signing up.
Thriving in her new role as hamster Mommy, Chloe had to keep a diary of Oreo's activities. Friday night passed without incident, but on Saturday, my husband and I were shocked to see an orange patch of indelible Sharpie on Oreo's belly. I tried both hand soap and dishwashing liquid and it would not come off! My daughter kept saying it was an accident, but I think she did it on purpose to give it a belly button. My husband returned Oreo to the classroom on Monday, and shamefully apologized for our little accident. Needless to say, when Megan hit kindergarten and wanted to adopt the "new Oreo," we never made the rotation."Do you have a class pet confession? Tell us about it below.

That’s pretty funny!

I took the class gerbil home in third grade. Of course it happened to be the oldest class pet in rotation, but we took it home anyway. That weekend, I was horrified when I walked into my room only to see Long Fur, the class pet for my third grade class, dead on his back. My teacher was more than understanding, but my fellow 9-year-old classmates weren’t so much.
