TRUTH !!
While most parents do what they can to prevent or stop their babies from
crying, that's not always the case in Japan. That's because it's a
400-year-old Japanese tradition that if a sumo wrestler can make your baby
cry, it means he or she will live a healthy life. During a special ceremony,
parents hand over their infants to sumo wrestlers who bounce their precious
tots up and down and sometimes even roar in their little faces to get the
tears flowing. "He's not a baby that cries much, but today he cried a lot
for us and we are very happy about it," mother Mae Shige said at a 2014
event.
