Two Pees in a Shower

It is not a secret who Carter's father is.  They are as close to twins as a parent/child can get.  People often tell me that Carter looks just like me....until they meet Dain.  There are only two things that the child got from me: nose and attitude.  Carter walks step for step behind his father.  There is nothing that Dain could do wrong in the world according to Carter.  It's as if I can hear the Patty Duke theme song playing in the background, "they laugh alike, they walk alike, at times they even talk alike."  

Most people would agree that my husband is an outstanding man; an honorable idol in my son's eyes. To that I would completely agree, in most instances.  There is that one side of him that is nothing but a child himself.  Now, Dain would argue that I fell in love with that playful side, and on a good day I would agree, but dealing with two of them who feed off each other makes it less amusing. 

So, the other day when I informed Carter that it was time to shower (he really does everything his daddy does!) I expected that he and Dain had retreated to our master bath to get Carter cleaned up like they do every night.  I began my usual routine during that time of picking up toys and rounding up dirty clothes.  When I rounded the corner from my bedroom into the bath, I was in no way prepared for what I was about to see!  There stood my son and his terrible influence of a father standing side by side, stance by stance, PEEING into the shower!!  I couldn't in any stretch of imagination have expected this and was left speechless.  When I finally came to and uttered the phrase, "Excuse me?!?", I was even less prepared for the explanation:

"It was his idea!"--Dain
