He intentionally confuses his sister-in-law by stating there are seven people present instead of six, leading to her slow realization and highly emotional reaction, which becomes the central focus of the video as the rest of the family celebrates.

The structural pattern this video runs on
Framework
The Trojan Horse Reveal
Announcing significant news by embedding a subtle, logical puzzle into a mundane group activity, then capturing the slow, dawning realization and subsequent emotional reaction of the participants.
The Mundane Alibi
The narrative begins with a common, unsuspicious group activity (like taking a photo) to establish a baseline of normalcy and lower the participants' guards.
The Planted Anomaly
The announcer deliberately introduces a piece of information that contradicts the visible reality (e.g., a wrong number, a strange instruction), presenting a puzzle that requires deciphering.
The Realization Cascade
The participants audibly question the anomaly, showing their confusion. The camera focuses on the target individual as they process the information, often with on-screen text or timers to heighten the suspense of their 'aha' moment.
The Disbelief Gauntlet
The target individual repeatedly seeks confirmation of the new reality, vocalizing their disbelief as they transition from confusion to acceptance. This beat is often emphasized with editing (e.g., an on-screen counter).
The Emotional Catharsis
The target individual's emotional guard breaks, resulting in a raw, powerful reaction (tears, laughter, shock) that serves as the video's climax and fulfills the promise of the hook.
The Evidentiary Reveal
A piece of tangible proof (an object, an image, a document) is presented to the audience, visually confirming the news and providing a final, concrete resolution.

We actually have to get closer so we fit all seven people in the photo. How are all seven people in here? There's six of us, Kevin. I think there's seven of us. What? Wait. Do you think it? Are you serious? Are you actually serious? I'm bored. Yeah. Seven of us. Are you serious? Wait. Really? Are you serious? No. Are you serious? No. Are you serious? No. Are you serious? Tier it is.
