There is no order of chivalry which makes awards for helping out at Birthday Parties for six year olds-mostly boys and not all six-but there should be. Huttonian has just survived Mr P's party which was quite decorous by most standards even if musical tyres ended in a punch up and wrestling match between the two finalists-boys of course-the girls were knocked out (no pun intended) at an early stage. One entertaining game was Pinata-a home made container suspended by string containing lots of goodies is hit in turn by the children with a rolled newspaper until it comes to pieces and the spoils pour out. One image has caught the moment that the Pinata exploded.Not a lengthy proceedings-most six year can demolish a home made Pinata in under ten seconds-even when (inadequately blindfolded) and it was nearer 5 on this occasion.
The theme was cars-hence the cake and the pinata. There was also a mini Grand Prix for home made racing cars constructed by the wife out of cardboard boxes. There was also lots of champagne for the grown ups(mothers-fathers usually stay away until the children are 17) so we all enjoyed ourselves.
