Fear

When ever the grand kids get injured, the Miyoshi side reminisces about their injuries.  Each one has a scar to prove out their story.  But it always comes to the story of Todd and his daughter Michelle that does not involve physical injury.  When she was young she got a hold of a pair of scissors and cut her hair under Todd's watch.  His story was he only turned his back for two minutes.  It looked so bad that even a attempted hair cut by the family hair dresser couldn't fix it.

What we laugh about was that it was the only time his brother Cliff witnessed fear in Todd.     This is the guy who was fearless on the football, rugby and la cross fields of division 3 NCAA against guys bigger, quicker and stronger than him.  How does he face his wife Erin who cried when she saw Michelle's do it herself trim?

Jared did something similar, but we ended up laughing more than anything else.  The hair cut required a #0 hair trimmer guide Marine style.  Cousin Michelle already had set the precedent and buzz cuts on a boy is no comparison to a young girl's beautifully cropped hair with gaps.

Of course none of these events that occurred to the Wada boys were ever on my watch,  knock on wood.  Wait, we are soon traveling to Texas to watch the grandsons.  Cross my fingers......
