Probably Miranda

All of my nieces love to take risks. They have no fear of falling, no fear of crashing, colliding, or collapsing. They bounce around zinging from here to there so quick your eyes can barely keep up. They’ve always been this way: climbing to the top of the jungle gym and hanging upside down at amazingly young ages. Janzie jumps off the high dive at the outside pool and zooms down big kid waterslides even though she’s just getting the very basics of swimming down. Of all of them, Miranda, in my observation is exceptionally daring. She’ll scale a swingset better than your average chimpanzee. She doesn’t mind going off on her own to accomplish interesting feats that most of us wouldn’t even think of in the first place. Here she is showing me her terrific tight rope routine on a concrete wall.
