How the Pinata is changing the world!
I have a theory that the pinata is changing the world. I'll explain. I grew up in the Southwest where most of my friends were of Mexican decent. And I'm wise to Pinatas. They are an important part of any party less important that the beer and more that the cake. The pinata is fill with candy and using a blindfold take turns hitting it with a stick until it break open and the candy falls on the ground. The children then run in and gather as much as they can. It is very competitive. How lets compare this game to the games I played at my parties. We played Pin the Tail on the Donkey. We also were blindfolded and took turns but the winner was awarded a small prize and at the end of the party each child was given a gift bag with an equals amount of goodies. Nice and fair! And for a timid child like I that was the way I liked it. So as the average little white girl was learning to take turns, look out for everyone interest and play nice. The average Hispanic child was learning "to the victor goes the spoils"!. So as the population of the U. S. A. changes to a higher percentage of Hispanic people so does the mind set of what it is to play fair. I want to live in a country where we all have an ( I win and you win) approach to life, not (I win you lose thinking.) So when I see that cute Pinata I see the catulus of new society values. A Trajan horse filled with candy If you will. And just wait until I get PETA on my side Hanging an animal in effigy and beating the stuffing out of it. Pinata consider yourself warned!
