Dislike at first sight
Perhaps I have failed to mention that Wilkin is terrified of mice.
It may have something to do with the upbringing, where he and his siblings are all afraid of mice. He once told me that his mum would scream and carried all of them up the chair or table, hence they were taught to have fear for these little rodents.
So anything that remotely resembles the likes of them, Wilkin will squirm. He hated visiting the pet shop, and while I was in awe when I saw this 'Maternity Ward' for little white mice, and showed Aidan these tiny hairless babies, Wilkin will not even go near them. And somehow I managed to kind of forget to inform him beforehand about taking Noodles home for the weekend :P
I was in the bathroom on Friday evening preparing to go to work, when he got home from his work. The next thing I heard was Oh Shit! I had to suppress my laughter, kekekekee. He called out to Aidan and asked What is this yucky thing?! I think Aidan didn't like the word yucky being put upon Noodles and he said No! Noodles eating carrots.
Yucky!
No!
I had to butt in and told Wilkin not to say that. Here I am trying to get Aidan to be comfortable with animals, and I didn't want Wilkin to tell him otherwise. Having said that, I was surprised to see the cage being covered in bath mats when I got home after work, to keep Noodles warm. That was a nice gesture.
This morning, I had to change the strawbed, and put the hamster on the other shell of the sandpit. I called out to Wilkin, asking him to keep an eye while I dispose of the old ones, which had quite a lot of poo. You know, eat lots, poo lots. He took a look at the cute little fatty, and decided he will do the hard work instead, because he didn't want to risk the chance of having to chase after Noodles in case he escaped. Hahaha!
Afraid of it he might be, Wilkin still managed to take a couple of pics of Aidan and myself with Noodles, and suggested that I should let it run around a bit for some exercise. Nah, I wasn't going to be responsible for losing the kinder's pet, plus Noodle's seemed very contented just sitting on my lap.
