Today, my husband was using the microwave when we suddenly hear a huge 'POP'. The good news is we found our daughter's missing hamster. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my daughter brought home her class hamster for the weekend. It escaped and we spent hours searching for it. We later found it in the fridge, eating our leftover pizza. I never knew hamsters had such a refined palate. FML
Today, I accidentally left my sister's hamster's cage open and it escaped. My dad recently put mouse traps down. Guess where I found her. FML
Today, I found a decomposing hamster deep in my closet. My daughter had hidden "Peach" after accidentally killing it and said it had ran away a month ago. And I'd believed her. FML
Today, my 8-year-old son microwaved his pet hamster. FML
Today, I found the family's pet hamster under my mattress, he's been missing for six months. FML
Today, I got a hamster against my wife's will. I can't wait until she wakes up and I have to tell her it's loose in the house. FML
Today, I found my pet hamster that escaped yesterday, wet and soggy, next to my pet dog. My dog chewed it. FML
Today, I was babysitting my neighbour's six hamsters. My cat got in the room and opened the cage. I came home to no hamsters in sight and a very satisfied looking cat. FML
Today, my sister brought her class hamster home from school. Somehow it escaped from its cage, and ran into my room. My boyfriend, thinking it was a mouse, stomped on it. I'm stuck cleaning hamster guts from my carpet, and have to explain to a kindergarten class what happened to their pet. FML
Today, I found my beloved hamster, Toofie. Toofie escaped from his cage. 4 years ago. FML

he didn't notice the hamster in there when he put the food in?

I'm not sure how you could not notice a frantic furry animal in your microwave.

Well. Might want to invest in a child therapist for your daughter. And maybe therapy for you and your husband too. ****, I had hamsters die of hypothermia (in ******* Florida, mind) despite insulating their cages to hell and back-three mini-hamsters to be precise- and it ****** me up emotionally for years, because I did everything to prep them for winter that both the vet and pet store suggested. (I'll note that after the second one died, I didn't want to get another, but my doctor wanted me to have an animal to take care of because I was prone to 'zoning out.') After the third mini-ham death, my mom got me a regular sized hamster...who just so happened to be the equivalent of lady-hamster Hercules (which is what I named her) and she broke out of every single cage design we had, and every jury rigged safety measure we thought of. Duct tape the top hatch closed? Open by morning. Zip tie the gate shut? Chewed through within 36 hours. Loop metal wire through the bars? She bent the wires and bars and was out in 12 hours. I was always terrified that something like this would happen- luckily it never did, and we parted because we gave her to someone who had problem hamsters herself. Hamsters are the Houdinis of the small let world, and are an exercise in paranoia and stress.

my first reaction was shock as I saw it happening in my mind's eye ..... second reaction was OH GOD, THEY HAVE TO CLEAN THAT MESS UP!!! I'm sooo sorry for all involved who had to hear that and even more sorry for the unlucky person who has to clean the microwave

I'm blind and I probably would not make that mistake. I always check the inside before I put food in. We have hands fore a reason.
