Around here, a small Pinata runs about $20. Well, this weekend, in Mexico, I found a 5 foot tall witch pinata for only $7.00. She was a huge hassle, but I was so excited. I carried her all over Mexico that day, banging people in the head with her left and right. Then, we had to put her in the cab of the truck with us. She had to lay across our shoulders from the front of the truck to the back. As you can imagine, that was an uncomfortable and dangerous ride. My vision was quite impaired. Then, we lugged her into the hotel room where she took up space for a few days.
To my dismay, it was storming when it came time to drive home. We had a nine hour drive and there was no way Miss Witch was going to ride up front! So, we drove like an hour out of route searching for a store that sold tarps. We wrapped her up in a tarp and put her in the back of the truck. On the way home, we had to pull over SEVERAL times to resecure her. The tarp kept blowing up. My mom and I got into a huge argument over it because she was insisting that a pinata can get wet and it'll be perfectly fine. I couldn't get it through her thick skull that the pinata would fall apart. My brother was mad at me because he kept having to recover her. We all just wanted to get home. My family was so annoyed with me and my witch, they even offered to buy me a Pinata back at home if I'd just dump her off somewhere.
So....I get home and proudly showed Mike my pinata. I said "You have no idea what I went through to get her home safe!" I showed it off to everyone that came over and they said "WOW! I never saw such a huge pinata! That was worth the trouble!"
Well...:rolleyes: Apparently, Dusty and Roxy thought that I'd brought them home a giant chew toy. I had them in the garage this morning and they ate Miss Witche's face off. Rest in Peace, Miss Witch.
Ah hah...that reminds me of when they murdered my Scarecrow last halloween. I still have the picture:
Dusty says: "Woof woof, we got him mom!"
Roxy says: "Sorry mommy, I thought it was a burgler."
