What do you do with a curmudgeon that just won't budge? Why, shake off the grumpy 'tude and embrace the fun

Have you ever seen a curmudgeon that looks like your brother, but is in such a bad mood you hardly recognize him? You can try all the peanut butter sandwiches and brownies you have, but he is not moving.
