Pinatas

We're making a special pinata this year for Alice's 4th birthday party. We finished the papier mache this morning and put it aside to dry. Alice wanted to paint right away, but I explained to her that something this wet would need to dry overnight. She went silent for a moment, popped a pretzel into her mouth and shared this:

"You know Aina got out of her bed this night. She got out and touched the pinata to see if it was wet or not. It was dry! Then she hid."

"She hid?"

"Yeah. And you got up in the morning and looked in her bed and she wasn't there. And then you looked for her and couldn't find her."

"Where was she hiding?"

"In the living room."

"Behind the snuggle chair?" (one of Alice's favorite hiding spots)

"Nope. Behind the kitchen table." Then she paused, catching herself in an impossible scenario. I raised my eyebrow. She smiled.
