Flash Fiction: Rite of Passage

Pin the tail on the donkey; a game for all ages. As children, a popular party entertainment. A group of munchkins waiting their turn hyped up on Creaming Soda – poor mum. All about winning the crappy plastic prize by pinning the donkey’s arse. Teen years, the game received a major change; no longer was the aim to pin the tail on the rump, instead, the biggest loser won – just add alcohol. Easy with all the staggering, swallow another drink. At hens nights, the game morphed into adults only; pin the penis on the man. Now, as mothers, we encourage our children to play.
