Let's Do Two-Player!

I'm guessing that every household with children has some sort of evening routine. Our's mainly consists of dinner, family time, baths, brushing teeth, a story or two, and off to bed (for the kids that is). The last thing that Joshua and Jesse do before bed is go to the bathroom. Now, sometimes we have a hard time getting Jesse to use the bathroom. We usually get responses like, "I don't have to go!", " The peepee's not coming!" , or my all time favorite, "My peepee is not working!" However, one night after being instructed to go potty before coming to bed, my husband and I heard Joshua say, "Come on Jesse, two-player!" We both looked at eachother from the living room couch and jumped up to see what in the world that meant! As we made our way down the hall and into the bathroom, we saw the boys standing on either side of the toilet, each peeing into the bowl at the same time. Apparently the object of the game is to quickly get to the toilet and whoever finishes peeing first, WINS!
Now you will never hear of two girls doing this, for obvious reasons. But I think this tops the fact that girls always go to the bathroom in twos. No more making fun of us! At least we don't use the same stall at the same time!
My boys never cease to amaze me--or humor me. However, this two-player "game" does get Jesse to empty his bladder every night before bed, so I'm forced to say, the game must go on.
