When they resist...just name the girl!

 Really?  A GIRLFRIEND?  I was sitting on the beach alone with Jake and although I had failed to charge my camera battery, I thought,  "I might as well use it up!"  Can't pass up the opportunity to find one really good shot!  So I dragged him out onto a rock and told him to sit and look at me!  He sat there for a minute while I fussed around with my settings.  About the time I was ready, the waves surged a bit and it started to pound him from the back a little.  Not hard, but enough for him to be done with me! If he's gonna get pounded, he's gonna get POUNDED!  I urged him to wait for a minute and was getting total resistance. Like this:




So I remembered that he has mentioned someone named Claire at school.  I really hesitate to call her his girlfriend, but she is a girl and obviously a friend, so  I  told him to look up and say "Claire"!  IT WORKED!  A sunny bright smile from this freckle-faced boy!



So that gave me a little mileage as I snapped as many as I could before he got up and walked away to go play in the waves some more!  He puts up with me, what can I say?
