when I was little we had alot of gerbils (kinda like hamsters with long tails) and one day I was walking byt them and I saw them rolling around in their nest . I thought they were killing eachother so I asked my mom to come and help .( I was 4 ) When my mom came she told me the hampsters were making babies ... I asked how they could do that and she said that I wouldnt understand . I told her I would get mad if she didnt tell me and that I would cry . So she said that if they kissed and snuggled they'd have a baby . Later that day forgetting this factor I picked up my gerbil whose name was ( i dont memba lets just say snowy) and i started snuggling with her she was so warm and her fur was so soft ...It was after I kissed her that I remembered what my mom said . I went screaming to her and told her that I was going to give birth to a baby gerbil . She then sat me down and explained the " gerbils and the bees"
