Kisses for Aunt Lissi, kisses for Uncle Fred, kisses for Grandma Else. But Leo actually doesn't want to give any kisses at all. Kissing is yucky! So, he hides in his room on his father's birthday and plays. However, Leo's parents won't let that slide. All the guests are waiting for his greeting after all. Before he fulfills that expectation, Leo goes to the kitchen and mixes a drink made of water, pepper, ketchup, and milk – it tastes awful and smells terrible. Additionally, Leo devours a huge piece of his dad's birthday cake, leaving his whole mouth smeared with chocolate and cream. If that isn't enough to deter his kiss-happy family from their plans. And Leo's plan works perfectly. In the living room, he starts greeting all the guests with a kiss, but they are not thrilled about it at all.
