The 'Happy Birthday Pinata' turns into more than a children's toy in this twisted reality of horrific imagery. The family is frightened, the family dog is missing, the baby doll cries, "I don't feel good', and the Pinata is broken and bloody. At the dinner table, Daddy, doesn't care about the vegetables, and tells his son 'to buck it up and eat your meat.' Yum Yum, Daddy knows best. So where's Murphy'? Who broke the Pinata?
