'Happy birthday Jack. In case you need reminding I'm now taller than Mum, so I claim my prize. I get to choose what you wear to the Halloween party on Saturday. So here is your present, your costume for the party'
'Aughh, Thanks sis. Can I guess it's something embarrassing?' After consulting with Rebecca , Jack had decided to have Jessie wear a donkey costume. Jack had purchased the costume already in anticipation of winning the bet. He guessed it now wasn't going to get used this year.
'It sure is! I'm sure you will look really cute. Remember there is no backing out. I won the bet fair and square'
Jack unwrapped his present to see a silky pink garment, wrapped in plastic. 'What the hell?'
'It's a prom dress. You will be going to Halloween as a prom queen. I found the dress at an Op shop. It's perfect! And look I even found a tiara!' Jessie pointed to a silver crown also in the wrapping paper.
'No way! This is going too far!'
Jessie's Mum was listening 'I was witness to you making that bet with Jessie. She has the right to make you wear whatever she wants'
'But it's a dress Mum. I'd be in drag'
'If I remember correctly didn't you go in drag to a party at college? You were a cheer leader. I think I saw pictures somewhere'
'That was different Mum. This party is at Rebecca's house. I'm supposed to man the bar'
'Well you will just have to be a barmaid in that case. A bet is a bet'
