Big Brotherly Teasing

Those of you who know Spencer well, will not be surprised to learn that he is somewhat of a tease.   Of course it is his siblings that get the brunt of his good-natured big brotherly teasing, but he is definitely not above also teasing his mother.   Luckily, in this instance,  I am glad for the fact that I'm usually the one holding the camera, so that there are no incriminating pictures of our semi-frequent nose tweaking duels. 

Cami, being the closest in age to Spencer, gets the vast majority of his teasing, 

that includes a fair amount of her own nose tweaking.

She puts her dukes up when he starts teasing about boys....

and reacts dramatically enough to ensure that the teasing will continue...


After Cami, the sibling who gets teased the second most is Ellie.   She is also a good reactor who enjoys his teasing affections.  Her favorite is when he calls her his cookie and pretends that he's the cookie monster. 

I try not to get irritated by the noisy squeals that always seem to accompany his teasing...

but then I remember it's their strong friendship that fosters this oft obnoxious teasing...

And, to be honest, I don't really mind the opportunities to play paparazzi  while they're too distracted to shoo away the camera. 

For the record, Glen wants it to be known that this teasing personality trait definitely does not come from his side of the family. 


My family pleads the fifth.

I love seeing Spencer's smile. I know how it is to be teased by an older brother.

One thing's for sure, the teasing could NOT have come from the Crain side of the family! We never tease! (o:

I agree with Valerie. It's great to see Spence happy!

Ditto about Spence's smile. So amazing!

Playing teasing is not a bad thing and I honestly believe it is one of the reasons that you and your seven siblings remain the best of friends to this day.

AnnaLisa, you well know that it is your role as youngest sister to be the brunt of so much teasing! ;o)

Spencer is normally a very happy kid who smiles a lot and loves to get people around him to smile as well. Sadly he has just grown a very strong aversion to cameras and Adam's developing the same aversion.
