Naki-zumo ("Crying Sumo")
This is a weirdly cute contest that pits two newborn babies against each other in a sumo ring. Sumo wrestlers hold two babies up into the air and the first one to cry wins. If they both cry, the one who cries the loudest wins.
Before I became a father, I thought that this was kind of a strange thing to do, now, with my own bundle of joy Musashi, I find it strangely cute. I have no doubt Musashi would kick some infant ass. That boy has got some lungs; I know—he has used them unabashedly on my left ear several times at point blank range.
