Piñata, $5

My daughter will be turning four soon, and amongst other things she has requested a piñata for her party. I had absolutely no expectation of coming across a second-hand piñata. In fact, the very idea of a soiled or squashed piñata seemed rather trashy. But there is a world of difference between Trashy and Not Quite Right. This piñata must have missed out on its fifteen minutes in a regular shop for failing to have a trapdoor cut into it like it’s supposed to. But I have a pair of scissors and I know how to use them.
