My little sister told me this really funny story about a birthday party she went to with her daughter. The poor, poor mom hosting the party had purchased a pinata but didn't realized that they generally aren't sold filled with candy, you have to fill it yourself. All of the children had their turns and whacked it open only to discover that there was no candy. So tragic! But so hilarious. :)

I do want to make one comment, though – a lot of those streamers and decorations look like paper that could have been recycled instead of going into the trash.
