The worst game ever

"College sumo wrestlers hold toddlers Rion Yuine, left, and Seira Aoki during a contest known as Crying Sumo on Saturday in Tokyo, Japan.

Babies face each other and are coaxed to cry. The first to bawl is declared the winner. The ritual is a wish for the good health of the children, as crying reputedly is beneficial for babies."

As a new mom, where the name of the game is 'responding to and stopping the crying,' this seems like the most bizarre thing ever. Encouragement to our friends with colicky children though - your babies are in the best of health! :)
