During this birthday party there was a little pink piggy strung up on the patio that all kids were invited to whack with a stick, accompanied by a few photographers. We were inside for the start but emerged to a scary crowd urging Abi and Pascale to have a turn. Abigail bravely swung the stick a few times but wasn't really keen, unlike her little sister. After the mad scramble for lollies from the broken pig, Abi gathered the piggy and held on to it. She asked if she could take it home, and that it looked very sad.
Since then she has carried it around with her favourite toy dog at least once everyday. It is falling apart (designed to) and the poignant expression in its eyes gives Chris the creeps.
Disagree with the whole pinata business, encouraging violence and mob mentality. Why aren't there more peaceful games?
