Pinata

Ah, sickness. I thought I had gotten over my cold (surprisingly quickly) but it’s managed to kick my ass yet again. I’m in bed now, which is pretty sad for 10 PM for me. Tara’s talking to me about plans for Cole’s birthday - only 4 months away.
One of the things that was pointed out was a pinata. Now, I’ll all for violence and candy, but they always seem to craft these things out of the popular character of the show - in Sesame Street’s case, it’s Elmo - I also remember this coming up with my nephew during his Teletubbie phase.
My point is this - You’re going to beat the living shit out of this thing. Beat it until it breaks into pieces. My son loves Elmo - how do you think he’d feel watching other kids take a stick or bat to him until he exploded? I don’t get it - make it into a negative character, like Oscar or something like that. Hell, beat up a Maria pinata for not fixing whatever you droppedff at the Fix-It Shop on time.
