Klara hates piñatas. Or rather, the custom of breaking them apart with sticks. (“It hurts the piñata’s feelings, Mommy!”)
As a result, she invented her own way of enjoying the 🪅, known as the “lifetime piñata.”
The way to play lifetime piñata is this. You fill a bowl with candy, cover it with a paper towel, and put the piñata on top. Then you give the piñata gentle touches, gently remove it, and eat the candy. And then spend a lifetime playing with the piñata.
“But Mommy, are you sure that it doesn’t hurt the candy’s feelings that we eat it?”
I have the perfect answer to this (we give food eternal life by eating it and making it part of our bodies, then our children’s bodies, etc), so we don’t have to play lifetime food and give it gentle touches.

Interesting finding via Mike’s blog:
A top researcher says it’s time to rethink our entire approach to preschool
…
A statewide public pre-K program, taught by licensed teachers, housed in public schools, had a measurable and statistically significant negative effect on the children in this study.

That is just the latest very old idea that’s been dug out of the closet and dusted off for a (probably unsuccessful) public outing. Charlotte Mason was saying this at the beginning of the twentieth century (“no formal education until age 6 or 7!”). And the Moores were talking about this with actual evidence in the 1970s:

But school systems never learn.
