Pinata does not break...

Two years in a row, we have had the brilliant idea of having a pinata at our daughter's birthday party. Living in Germany, we thought it would be a treat for the kids to have such an experience (though neither I nor my wife is Mexican or Latin American or likes Tequila)

Last year, for our daughter's fifth birthday, my wife schlepped a pinata across the Atlantic from Texas. Needless to say, it did not break.

This year, we ordered one online (who knew one could order a pinata online in Germany) and again, the kids whacked at it for a good 30 minutes without it even showing a hit of a crack..



I hope the german kids aren't getting the wrong idea about a pinata, that it is something to hit and hit till nothing happens and an adult hs to pry it open to let the candy out.
