This is how I do it. Break it down into parts....

lap = lap, of course. That could go with mommy. Cranky children?
pinata = piņata
pai = pie. You might have a piece of pie at a birthday party where there may also be a piņata, mommies, cranky children, and laps?

lol, okay, I have issues; but it works. You will remember this word now.
All thanks to me.
You're welcome.
