As I look on, Graham Nickerson suffers a wicked sword blow to the neck from a pint-sized warrior. With a mighty roar, the pitiless swordsman strikes again. This time, Graham manages to raise an arm against his attacker. Alas, it is hacked off at the shoulder and, sitting right there at the kitchen table, in front of a laptop full of photos from the Mediterranean, he dies a melodramatic death. The warrior is Graham’s four-year-old son, Bailey. The sword is a cardboard tube that once held Christmas wrapping paper. Satisfied, Bailey sheaths his sword... for now.
