Well - he took it well. Better than we expected. His initial response (and I quote) was "Oh, maaaan!"
Kids take things in stages so I doubt we're at the end of this. We'll hear difficult questions in frustrating places I'm sure; like while waiting in line in the grocery store or at a birthday party. He did say "We can just get another one... I think we should always have a hamster." I'm wondering if he really thought of this thing as a living thing or just an animated toy... We used "his body stopped working " method. He's not coming back, there is no Hamster heaven, and it's not your fault. Atheists really suck with death...
