I finished a twelve hundred and eighty-seven page book and was unsatisfied with the ending. I don't regret reading the book, but come on. I understand, endings can be difficult. Saying good-bye can be difficult. But, when you read a long book, a book that didn't need to be as long as it was, you deserve a good ending.
I had a sinister thought the other day. I had the idea to invent an unbreakable piñata. It's similar to the mindset behind the trick birthday candle, but on another level.
When I was a kid there was no cutting corners when it came to the piñata. You got blindfolded. There were strict rules that had to be followed. You only got a certain number of swings.
I remember trying to cheat when the blindfold wasn't put on right just to survive. I could see out of the corner of the blindfold just enough to take a few good hacks.
Kids today have it easy. Sometimes they don't even get blindfolded and they get as many swings as they want. The fun of the game is trickery. You're blindfolded and swinging wildly, and being mocked by the adults when you miss. When else can a parent mock their child? It's an opportunity.
The unbreakable piñata levels the playing field. You don't need a blindfold, hahaha!!!
