this is bound to happen to us

I’m convinced this is going to happen to my family. This will be my luck. And it will most likely happen to my own children at their own birthday party.
This is bound to happen for a few reasons.
This is bound to happen for a few reasons.
- I am brown. Brown people have piñatas for every occasion. Seriously. A relative just flew into town. Someone just got out of the hospital. Birthdays, graduations, christenings. Someone got a new car. Tía got tattooed makeup and/or a green card.
- I have 2 kids. Piñatas are all the rage now. Now available at Party City (instead of having to trudge into the Mission and find one in some grimy store that sells Virgen de Guadalupe clocks with LEDs and Quinceañera dresses for $24.99). The likelihood of us having them at our own party is 100% and at other kid’s birthday parties, let’s say is about 75%. And I don’t know what all this math means, but I think it’s a safe bet that I’m toast with these odds.
- My son believes he is a superhero. His superhero name is Firefox, which means he’s a super fast animal that can turn into fire. Like Sonic the Hedgehog only less blue and more fire and awesomeness. My guess is that he’ll try to barrel through the path of the piñata’s beatdown and get one himself.
- My daughter hasn’t quite gotten the hang of walking yet, so chances are if we attend a piñataed event this year, she will meander under a falling bloated Dora the Explorer paper mâché anvil filled with weight and pain disguised as mini candy bars and Smarties. 8:1.
- It’s plain and simply my luck. This is why we can’t have nice things. If someone is going to get a random bee sting at a birthday party, or develop a fear of the party entertainment during their own birthday party, it will be my kids.
