We're having a girl!

Four of the five boys in our house are still in denial. Jakeb is the only one who is excited about a baby girl which stems from the reason that his favorite color is pink right now. (If he was ten and this was his favorite color, I might be worried; but he's only three...not too worried yet.)
Anyways, the other boys refuse to even admit that we're having a girl. In fact a couple of weeks ago, I had Blake in what I call a body-lock (similar to a head-lock) and wanted him to say..."We're having a girl," and then I would let him go. Well, he refused, and then it turned into him either obeying me and saying it or disobeying me and getting a spanking. Let me emphasize that there was no pain involved for poor Blake. He was only stuck and couldn't move very freely. It was sad but funny at the same time. I mean I think I held him in it for at least 15 minutes maybe even longer. He did finally admit it, and he was set free. I did the same thing to Luke, and he seriously took about 10 seconds to say it because he didnt' want to go through the same thing his brother did.
Now fast forward to today. I was hugging Jakeb really tightly and then I let go. Much to my surprise he said, "We're having a boy." He is normally so supportive of the girl thing. Then he said, "Hold me again." So I did. And then he said with laughter in his voice, "We're having a GIRL!!!" (He was referring to the whole Blake incident from weeks ago.) I got a big kick out of it!!!
