Attempting to mentally prepare my daughter for tomorrow, I explained we had a new president. She wanted to know his name. I told her.
I told her that tomorrow was an important day, and that we were going to a party to celebrate. That the parents were going to watch everything on TV while the kids got to play.
LittleBird pondered the information I had given her. I should have known from the thoughtful silence that we were about to invoke a reincarnation of the saddest Christmas party ever.
She asked: Is there going to be a piñata?
I opened my mouth to answer and nearly choked with laughter. Going to an inauguration party with a piñata of the President-Elect?
I asked her if she thought there ought to be a piñata of the president at the party.
Oh yes!
I told her we'd ask.

Littlebird is just too cute. Will there be balloons?
LOL! Maybe there should be a pinata at EVERY inauguration. It might help keep those guys humble.
Today is a GLORIOUS day...on so many levels! Party on Littlebird, party on.
I have never been to a party where a piñata was involved. But I gotta tell ya, at 30 years old, I would go to one if I was invited.
Did someone suggest who the pinata should be an effigy of? I have a suggestion!
Yeah...it should be of the OUTgoing president, especially this time. The thing I saw today which made me the happiest? The view of the ex-president's helicopter flying away into the distance.
Peace - D
I like this girl's thinking!!
In honor of today, school lunch was packed w/Chocolate Teddy Grahams.
Not quite a pinata, but it did get a favorable review.
OMG! Yes! Party, baby! Party!
I love Little Bird...bunches!
A pinata is an awesome idea for an inauguration party! Good going LittleBird!
Why not a pinata of the outgoing president. I mean if you're going to beat something with sticks...
