Bribery, Force, and Family Photos
2005-01-06, 4:17 p.m.

So there we were, all dressed up for FIL�s funeral, and it hit us: All six of the grandchildren were clean, well-dressed, and in one place at the same time. Such a thing happens once or twice a millennia. In other words, prime photo op. True to form, 5 of the cousins cooperated; Son did not.

Son hates to have his picture taken.

Daughter took the opportunity to throw her weight around and order him into position.

It didn�t work.

Son was manhandled into place by his aunt, and behold! A family portrait.

Son IS able to smile. Bribe him with enough loot from the jolly fat man, and he grins like an idiot.

Daughter, too, is able to smile, when she�s smothered in gifts and not being annoyed by her little brother.

Mom is smiling now, too. As of today, both children are back in school. Let the holidays begin!

last - next
