Parental Tip #4

Two Words:  HOMEMADE  PINATA

The key here is to build a pinata for no particular occasion other than the fact that your hyper five-year-old is bored again and you have an entire afternoon to fill.  Actually, this project will occupy multiple afternoons since it has to dry and be decorated.

When the pinata is complete, fill it with the leftover Halloween candy you've been hiding in the freezer all year (to protect your loved ones from tummy aches and cavities).  After that, put it on the top shelf of the bookcase to "keep it for a holiday".  Then, just when your five-year-old has forgotten about it and is ready to move out because living with you is too boring, you can say,

"Hello, what have we here?  Why, it's a pinata filled with candy.  You know, normally these are for very special occasions but, what the hell, let's bust this baby open right now".

Congratulations.  You have just achieved Mom of the Year.
