Riddle me this: Getting away with vandalism












3














I came up with this riddle over the holidays but since my family doesn't speak English, you get to be the audience. Exciting!




You had a thing precious you worked so hard to make



I worked even harder to that treasure break.



Yet no one would yell at me, no one would leer,



my punishment was only applause and cheer.



And from the remains of that which I maimed



a thing much similar (but better!) I claimed.




What exactly could I be talking about?

          Is it a




          world record






          Explanation:



          You had a thing precious you worked so hard to make




          Worked hard to set a new record




          I worked even harder to that treasure break.




          To break a record you have to do even better than the last person




          Yet no one would yell at me, no one would leer,



          my punishment was only applause and cheer.




          Cheering for the record breaker




          And from the remains of that which I maimed

          a thing much similar (but better!) I claimed.




          Made a new world record, almost the same a the broken one, but better

            I think it's




            a gift/wrapping paper




            You had a thing precious you worked so hard to make




            You worked hard to wrap the present




            I worked even harder to that treasure break.




            Worked even harder to tear apart the wrapping




            Yet no one would yell at me, no one would leer,



            my punishment was only applause and cheer.




            People cheered as you opened your present.




            And from the remains of that which I maimed
            a thing much similar (but better!) I claimed.




            After tearing away the wrapping, you got to your actual gift.




            This would also make sense considering




            You came up with it during the holidays, so maybe while you/someone opened a christmas gift. Also makes sense since you mention vandalism in the title.

              Is it a




              piñata?




              It does




              take hard work to make and can be associated with Christmas. But its end is a violent one, the culmination of which could elicit cheers and could also release stuff even more prized than the container that until that point had been the focus of attention.
