The narrator just wants to impress Daddy, who thinks men should “always” be tough, and his old Sunday morning routine with his father, playing cricket, used to let him demonstrate how tough he is. The narrator finds the ritual disgusting-and his grandmother, Mamaiji, thinks it will bring bad luck-but he does it anyway to appease his father. At the beginning of the story, the narrator is tweezing all of the white hairs out of his father’s head while Daddy looks for a job in the paper, like he does every Sunday. He is Mummy and Daddy’s son and Percy’s younger brother. The story’s narrator and protagonist is a 14-year-old Parsi boy living in Bombay, India in the 1960s.
