Tough Viva Questions

My 5 year old daughter, 6 year old son and I played some more Viva Piñata this afternoon.  We decided that since Billbofett just got this game, we would send him a Piñata as a little "housewarming" gift.  The kids had a lot of fun dolling up a Bunnycomb with accessories.  Unfortunately, the game doesn't pause while you are typing (via the controller) the message that goes along with your packed up piñata.

While we were typing, we had a pretztail fall ill.  Pretzy was his name (my kids get to name all the piñatas) and he was gussied up with a lot of accessories.   I quickly called the doc to heal Pretzy, but Dastardos got their too quickly and killed him, leaving me with just one Pretztail.  My kids were sad and wanted another pretztail.  Looking at the encyclopedia, I saw that in order to become a garden resident, a visting pretztail must eat a bunnycomb.

My kids couldn't wrap their heads around why we would breed a cute little bunny just to feed to pretztail.  When it came time to name the new bunnycomb, my kids had suggestions like Baby Bunny or Thumper Jr., but I said we should name him "Pretztail Food" because that was his lot in life.  "But why, Dad?", they asked.

"That's just the way it is in the garden, kids..."
