When the photographer told Tannis to put her arms around Brad, for a "brother-sister picture," Brad froze and looked horrified. I reminded him of our deal and he complied, although I think he was secretly trying to hurt Tannis by gripping her arms extra hard in the photo.
Then came the clencher...
Photographer: "Okay, now give your sister a kiss on the cheek and I'll take a photo."
Brad laughs and looks at her like, "you must be kidding!" Tannis looks delighted.
Photographer: "Go ahead, give her a kiss."
Brad's smile fades as he realizes she's serious.
Brad (shaking head slowly): "No."
Photographer: "Well, I'm just going to wait here then until you do it."
Me: "C'mon, Brad. The sooner you do it, the sooner we can finish and go get a treat."
Brad looks disgusted, tucks his lips inside his mouth, and pecks her on the cheek with his lips hidden.
Photographer: "No, that doesn't count. You have to kiss her with your lips."
Brad grimaces and realizing there's no choice, gives her a quick kiss. Immediately after, sticks tongue out, gags, and violently wipes lips off on his arm. Tannis sits down smiling. Brad walks past her and pinches her hard on the leg.
Tannis: "OW! What was that for?!"
Brad ignores her and sits down next to me.
Brad: "Mom, you owe me A LOT MORE than a treat for that. I mean, you owe me money for that!"
Oh, but it was so worth it...
P.S. When we were looking at the photos after, Brad demanded that this one be deleted... but when he walked away, Tannis and I secretly ordered it.
