It was my nephews 5th birthday party yesterday. One of the highlights was a Piñata which was tied on to a heavy wooden curtain rail. This thing was getting hit by an assortment of people between 2 to 76 years of age. Eventually, I decided to have a go and gave it a pretty good knock… Possibly to hard… In addition to smashing the piñata, I also managed to knock the curtain rail off the wall. Of course the kids didn’t notice this, they just dived for the sweets.
I guess I won’t be invited to join in later this month when my other nephew has his birthday… 🙂

Tim:
The correct spelling is piñata, with Ñ.
ASCII is dead!, long live UNICODE! ;))

I know what you mean. I went to a kids birthday party over the weekend, and I was playing air hockey with my 5 year old. I really have to learn to ease up on the slapshot!!!! : )
No children were harmed in the playing of air hockey.
CarlosAL: OK, I was being a bit lazy. I’ve corrected it now. 🙂

I always like the, introduce rules as the game goes on technique. 🙂
Before the new houses were built next to mine, there was an old house with an old pepper
tree, perfect for hanging a piñata. So the little 4-year-old girl was swinging a
stick longer than she was tall, and knocked grampa out cold.
good old pinhatas – sorry Carlos, in Portuguese we spell it that way. 😉
They’re more responsible for “revenge acts” by kids on adults than anything else this side of an armoured missile carier!
