Nisei Dad Takes Fatherly Look At “No. 2” Sansei Son’s Coming Of Age
By JOE IDE
Rafu Shinpo

He is 21. He is knowledgeable, self-assured, and self­
centered. He is my No. 2-Son.
His hair is long and sometimes hangs over his face.
He is. most comfortable in an old blue workshirt and
skin-tight Levis. He wears expensive boots, and an
expensive fringed leather jacket to go with this outfir.
Usually, he does not give the appearance of being welldressed or well-groomed. Yet, when he finds it man­
datory, he is actually conscious of the right color
combinations, and is immaculate and dapper.
He 'is completely irresponsible in some respects—
he will never replace the cap on a toothpaste tube or
hang up a towel; he will snack in the front room and
-leave his dishes and garbage behind; he will borrow
my-.clothes without asking (I borrow his, too, but

that s a bit different); he will borrow the car, and
leave the windows open and the doors unlocked; he
will make a major production of putting together a
sandwich, then leave the ingredients uncovered and
scattered all over the kitchen.
let, he will keep his own room in appel-pie order,
and holler bloody-murder if any one messes it up.
I suppose he is a bit too old for pets. But, he idolizes
a dog he found in the park; cares for a scrubby rabbit,
three guinea-pigs, and two full-grown pet rats, and
really enjoys them. On rainy days, he will take them
out of their outdoor cage and gather" them into his
own room so they won’t get wet. He is immune to
animal odors.
His compassion and concern seem to extend more
to animals than to humans, younger brothers in par­
ticular. He is forever ordering them around — polish
the motorcycle, go to the store, put out the trash, feed

the pets, answer the phone—a veritable Simon Legree
when they do not immediately hop to attention and
comply. 'Yet, he will spend long hours with them,
playing basketball, or playing football on the front
lawn, teaching them the rudiments of the game. He
is really great in this respect.
He is impatient, aloof and uninterested about most
of his Sansei peers, and. in his opinion, their seem­
ingly small world with limited interests and ambitions.
He is clever-smart. He has learned from No. 1-Son
that it’s best not to argue with the ol’ man. When
opposed, he simply listens, nods or grunts, and even
agrees. And then, he will go about doing his own thing.
He seems to know that the ol’ man will soon simmer
down if you give him a listen. But, let it be said that
the ol’ man isn’t always fooled!

J. K. Reynolds, secretary to the
Cabinet, have been visiting. The
dispatch said the invitation to
send an economic mission was ex­
