Logan Foley and pain tolerance

[WildfireMicro 425]

 Logan Foley was a bit of an odd kid growing up, as he just seemed to have an insane amount of pain tolerance. While his dad Jack Foley could take a lot of pain, having played offensive line in football in high school along with working as a welder for most of his life, Logan just seemed to one up him at times. One of his most famous incidents when it comes to this was when he was seven years old and was visiting his grandparents in Philadelphia. They had shown him an old motorcycle that his grandfather rode back in his heyday, and did not notice that the Motorcycle was not on stable ground when Jack tried to put him on the seat of the bike.

 

 When Logan was put on the bike, it started to tip and Logan's arm got caught in between that and the ground. Thankfully, his arm was nearly sprained rather then a full on fracture. The remarkable thing about it though was that Logan did not even really cry or complain when his parents and grandparents were putting his arm in a splint. He did tell his dad that it did hurt a lot however, and he had to unfortunately miss a trip to the ice cream shop. The good news is that his grandmother stayed behind and made him a delicious homemade pie.

 

 The unfortunate thing is that due to his pain tolerance, he started to get a reputation of doing bets for money and attention when he became a teenager. It also made quite a few of his peers believe that he actually enjoyed pain, which was definitely not true. He was eventually able to channel this need for attention into something more productive in hockey when he started to play it in school. One day, Logan was practicing some slapshots on goal whe Jack watched when he ended up slipping and hitting his elbow against the glass around the rink. As his dad and the school doctors look at his elbow, one of the nurses makes this comment:

 

 "I swear I have never seen this boy complain about pain" she was saying this while looking at the growing bruise on his arm. "It is almost like he does not even feel it at all"

 

 "No ma'am." Logan says as he looks up at that "I can definitely feel it. However, I haven't seen my dad complain about pain so I guess I shouldn't ether"

 

 "Oh my God is that why you are so stubborn about this?" Jack says, surprised "look I am not one to complain about little stings from the sparks when I weld, but if I am really hurt you best believe you are gonna hear about it. I was cursing like a sailor when I tore my shoulder when you where 2 years old in a ladder related incident"

 

 "I don't remember that." Logan says, surprised "then again, I was 2 years old. Well I guess in the end I can say one thing to you."

 

 "And what would that be son?"

 

 "I will be more honest about things from now on. Oh, and This hurts like a b word."
