Now I’ve Seen It All!!!!
What I saw at my niece’s birthday party tonight just took the cake. They had a ‘non-violent pinata’. WTF is THAT?!?!?! You don’t use a stick to break it. It has streamers hanging from it and kid’s pull them one at a time and one of the strings pull the thing open to let the candy fall out.
As I have mentioned in the past, I think we are raising a generation of wussies. I’m not one of those parents who wants everyone to get a trophy because, heaven forbid, you’re loser kid should get his feelings hurt and cry. Tell little Johnny to grow a pair and play harder next time. Fair competition teaches kids to set and achieve goals. It also teaches them how to be graceful losers. Besides, I firmly believe that a little childhood trauma helps build character.
I think banning dodge ball on school playgrounds is stupid. It’s not violent. They used to play brick tag where I grew up. (If you’re bleeding…you’re it!!) My sister’s nephew was sent home from school because he was playing cops and robbers with some friends on the playground and the teacher saw this 1st grader make a gun out of his thumb and index finger. Stupid….just plain stupid.
I wish someone could explain to me how whacking a paper mac-he box is violent. How could you possibly win ten grand on Funniest Home Videos if there’s no chance of Grandpa getting whacked in the nuts with a wiffle ball bat? (Not to mention…that’s just damn funny.) I’m thinking I might start a new group on Facebook….‘Put The Violence Back In Pinata’s’
Now, that’s the proper way to whack a pinata!!!!!!
i think that type of pinata is cuban i might be wrong
Yea isn’t it amazing if this contry ever has another civil war, there won’t be anyone able to fight. They will stand around calling each other names and giving each other paper cuts.
Those are my very favoritest America’s Funniest Home Videos!! I laugh every single time. Why it’s so funny to me to watch people get smacked in the head/nuts/face, I don’t know…okay, I do, it’s because I imagine it’s people I know.
Yes we are raising a generation of wusses! I make my kids compete when they play and I believe losing is a great incentive to get better. I really think not every kid should get a trophy. How the heck are you going to get through life if you never know how to fail?
