These parents' hearts were definitely in the right place. However, even the most pure of intentions can end up resulting in gritty consequences. In this case, they endured a tough lesson in underestimating the emotional impact that getting a piñata of their kid's favorite cartoon character would have. Oddly enough, kids don't like seeing their beloved cartoon characters get smashed to smithereens.

Like many toddlers, my kid loves that horrible little creature called Peppa. While I was shopping for birthday supplies this week I saw a Peppa pinata and instantly thought two things: The kid is going to love this and l'm going to love seeing Peppa get deleted with a stick.

    Font - She saw it a couple times during the week and each time she was like PEPPA! HI PEPPA! THAT'S PEPPA! So I knew without a shadow of a doubt I had made the right choice. Cue the main event. In one corner we have Peppa and in the other corner have 15 older kids jacked up on cup cakes and soda. They don't care about Peppa they only care about getting their next fix and they know that fix is inside the paper piglet. My wife is holding the kid and I'm standing beside them.

    Font - Bonus light TIFU: I did not dispose of the body appropriately and while I was cleaning up I heard some rummaging in the other room and a few moments later my daughter came into the room dragged the mangled remains of Peppa by her foot.
