Alternatively, you could prepare several answers to possible kid questions about hamster behavior:
"They're playing horsey"
"That's how hamsters dance"
"The mommies always get fat like that when they're happy" [Be very careful with that last one].
One thing I will NEVER let my twin brother forget is the time he came up with a ludicrous explanation to what we saw unfold one day at a bus stop, back when we were in elementary school.
Here's the scene: We're standing at the bus stop and two dogs go by rear to rear locked in romance. For some reason I knew exactly what was going on. So did the other kids that were either snickering (the boys) or gasping in disgust (the girls). My brother's explanation was they had worms and they were glued together because of them.
Whenever I bring this up there are howls of laughter much to my bother's chagrin.
