We are having a small family party for Aubrey’s fifth birthday and she has been enthusiastically discussing all the details. She is having some trouble deciding between an ice cream cake, a chocolate layer cake and cupcakes but is sure she wants a “Princess Pirate” theme. While I was cleaning the kitchen after lunch she asked sweetly, “Mommy can I please have a pagina for my birthday?”
Me: A WHAT?
Aubrey: You know a pahina…like Emma had.
Me: Ohhhh, a PINATA!
Aubrey: That’s what I said!
Well, that could have had an unfortunate outcome…
