I want a trick piñata that releases candy only when it's hugged.

Having a spider-man piñata and not filling it with spiders is a missed opportunity.

Reminds me a little of my niece. We bought her the TMX Tickle Me Elmo for her when she was around 1 or 2. Whenever you would activate it, causing it to roll around the ground laughing and move its arms, she would get very upset and try and hug it to get it to stop. She seemed to think that instead of laughing it was crying out in pain. I almost hated myself for laughing so much.

When I was a summer camp counselor one year, one of my favorite kids in my group was autistic, and the gentlest being you will ever encounter. We had a weekly karate class, in which he had shown great progress over the eight weeks and developed a friendship with the instructor. The last week of camp, the instructor jokingly let the kids punch him anywhere they wanted (within reason) as their reward for "finishing" all the classes. When it was the autistic kid's turn, he looked around with a kind of confused/concerned look on his face, and then gave the instructor the biggest hug ever. The awwwdometer was off the charts.

Ahhh, I remember my pinata bro.I was five years old, when my grandmother bought me a pinata for my birthday. It was a batman pinata, and everything about it brought me joy. It stayed with me in my room for an entire year, until finally I started first grade. The first week of class, my mother asked if I wanted to bring my pinata to school to share with all of my friends. Not knowing what a pinata was actually used for, my mom told me that we should fill Batman with candy. My five year old brain thought this was a great idea, because I loved Batman and thought he deserved some candy. I couldn't wait to flaunt my batman pinata in front of the whole class. Three hours later, I'm standing teary eyed holding a wooden stick, as the entirety Ms. Griffith's first grade class begins their chant... and they want blood. I couldn't bring myself to deliver the first swing. I watched horrified as another child destroyed one of my favorite toys/dolls/pinatas. Worst part, I only got two pieces of the candy inside.

TLDR: Cried when I couldn't bring down my Batman pinata in front of my first grade class.

Is it strange that I'm only now realizing how symbolically barbaric this tradition is?

LORDJEW_VAN_CUNTFUCK · 7 months

It makes sense. Spiderman is probably a hero of his and now he has to beat his body to pieces with a stick? Where's the fun in that?

noiche · 7 months

That's the interesting thing about piñatas. We get kids these characters they love and expect them to beat the living shit out of them for candy.

He gives a half hearted effort when he swings, but a whole hearted effort when he hugs.

Dude, that's because Spiderman. A kid with an over-developed conscience. Society will knock that out of him soon enough.

For my 5th birthday I had a Scooby Doo themed birthday party. My mom brought out a cake in the shape of Scooby and all my friends sang happy birthday, then my mom proceeded to cut the cake. After the cake was served i started sobbing. My mom asked what was wrong and i said "They're all eating my friend."

InsightfulThenBAM · 7 months

Aww, I can relate to this all too much.

When I was 6, we had an old crappy tv in the back of our walk-in closet that hadn't worked for months. Finally, when we bought a new one, my dad decided there was no point in keeping the old one, and for some reason, I couldn't let him take it.

I had no idea why, but I couldn't let it go. I cried, screamed, and broke down until he agreed to keep it there (at least long enough for me to forget about it).

I think the reason children find the need to become attached to random objects is much more complex than simply assuming that "they want to have everything their way". There's a famous British Child Psychologist named John Bowlby explains (very thoroughly) that the game. BAM.

For the 3rd birthday of a friend of my son's, they had a car-shaped piñata. Since both he and my son loved cars, neither of them could bring themselves to thwack it. When it busted open, they cried.

So funny in retrospect. :)

TimIsWin · 7 months

Afterwards the piñata said "I know, Sally. It's just. I know he gets angry sometimes but I still love him."

marishtar · 7 months

Why would you want to smash Spider-man in the face?

diceroller16 · 7 months

I thought the big kid was gonna whack both of them

GreyLlama · 7 months

This is my perspective of the situation following this event:

Parents: "Son, you have two choices, you can either beat this pinata with your sparkly bat and eat his insides like the psycho you are, or you can have a new friend."

Kid thoughts: "If this were a mainstream game, I would have to choose whether I'd want to be a good guy or a bad guy for the rest of the game. I can always save here and do one. If I don't like the choice, I can always go back!

Kid: "WHAT HAVE I DONE!?!!?"

There is a very disturbing Canadian-American animated series called Viva Piñata. I've only seen parts of it, but it seemed really fucked up, so if this kid watched some of that, I'm totally not surprised.

My sister in law got her son a duck pinata for his birthday party. Except they got the pinata like a week before so he had grown really attached to it. When it came time to start hitting the pinata he just started bawling but they made him hit it anyway (Imagine this 3 year old kid crying while also hesitantly hitting a best friend he made a week prior). It was so awful. Once the pinata broke, he was trying to piece his face back together. They ended up duct taping the broken pinata back together and he carried it around with him everywhere afterwards. :C That party took a surprisingly dark turn.

I had a worse experience with my first pinata. My 4 year old brain didn't know exactly what it was, all I knew was a my size Strawberry Shortcake was at the party and it seemed like the greatest thing ever. I took pictures next to her and gave her hugs. Then they started beating her with a stick. I cried and screamed and my mom had to take me home.

As a child, I traumatized my own birthday party.

We had a ninja turtle piñata. When it was my turn to swing, I perfectly separated Donatello's head from his body. Body drops to the ground, leaving his head dangling from the tree. No, I wasn't called "Shredder" the rest of my childhood.

Why would you as a parent, buy your son a pinata of a superhero, then tell him to beat the shit out of the hero he respects the most in this world? That's failure thinking right there...

Rixxer · 7 months

Look at the smile the big brother gets and the way he holds the bat when his brother hugs the pinata, you can tell evil is underway.
