Went to a fun party at a hunting camp down by the creek tonight. Met a woman there who makes pinatas. She made one this year of the Baby Jesus.
People were startled. Can you imagine, someone said, beating the Baby Jesus at a Christmas party till he bursts?
"Well," she explained, "people love Dora the Explorer, but they like their Dora the Explorer pinatas too."
Hmm.
I also heard a story about an impromptu field hysterectomy of a cow whose uterus had fallen out, and a story about a difficult sex change at the local nuclear plant. I ate a bowl of something called "Sex in a Pot" that involved mustard greens and crowder peas. And drank two Abita Christmas ales. Ah, Louisiana...

As a mom to three, I've never understood the Dora or Batman pi atas. Would kids really whack the heck out of their beloved cartoon characters? At my son's fourth birthday party, knights and dragons were the theme. We got a dragon pi ata, dressed the kids in capes and they took turns attacking it with a sword. That made sense. When my older daughter turned three, we had a Madeline party, but I can't imagine hanging Madeline in effigy and giving the kids a baguette (?) to obliterate her with.
If I wouldn't do that to Madeline, I'm not about to do it to Baby Jesus.
P.S. Didn't Pedro almost get kicked out of school for making a pi ata that looked like his opponent and letting people take turns at it with a baseball bat in "Napoleon Dynamite"?>
If I wouldn't do that to Madeline, I'm not about to do it to Baby Jesus.
Sometimes a pinata is just a pinata...>
