A funny "boy" story

I am amazed at my little boys. They're curious, they're funny, and they're silly. Let me tell you about a little story...

I was getting ready for work one day, and it was nearly 3:00pm ... about the time I leave for my 3:30 shift. Sean comes running upstairs from the basement chanting; "I have to poop-I have to poop!" He goes to the bathroom to do his thing. No problem...he's a big boy, and he can do that himself. Not 30 seconds after Sean gets himself naked (because he couldn't be expected to poo with his shirt & socks on, now could he?) and has himself planted firmly on the flush, comes Ryan, chanting his own chant; "I have to pee-I have to pee!" I try to stop him and tell him to use the flush down stairs, but I'm too late.

I hear the familiar noise of pee hitting the flush water. But how could that be if Sean is already sitting on the flush having a poo?? Well ... let me tell you!

I walk from my room to the washroom door to see what I feared...Sean sitting on the flush with his legs open in a "V" shape and Ryan peeing in between the "V". Now Sean doesn't seem to mind this invasion of privacy, nor does Ryan seem to mind that his brother is having a poo on the flush. They are, in fact carrying on a conversation when I appear at the door screaming: "WHAT ARE YOU DOING? ARE YOU CRAZY??"

Ryan looks up at me with those big blue eyes and I urge him to watch what he's doing so that he doesn't pee on his brother. So he turns back and then shivers (you know...the kind that men do when they pee) and he does, indeed, pee on his brother!!! Sean, who usually has a terrible temper, is still just sitting there, wondering why I've gone mad and his brother is in trouble. Like sharing the loo with one another is the absolute most natural thing in the world.

Is there such a thing that brothers could be too close???

So Ryan finishes, finally and gets himself zipped and off he goes off to wait for more of Mummy's ranting on the hygiene and privacy aspects of relieving oneself. Meanwhile, I'm washing up Sean's legs and I'm telling him; "Don't let your brother pee on you" to which he replies; "Okay, Mummy!"

Innocence.

After the whole scene was over, I stepped back and saw the humour in it. It is a funny story...and one I'm saving for their teen years.
