Sprinkle Pee

I do not know the exact time frame of this memory. I had to be at least three because I was potty trained. I had to be younger than 7 because the Newswanders moved to Canada by then. I think I was probably late three or early four.

My mother has an identical twin sister (Madalyn Newswander). Aunt Madalyn's oldest son, Michael is two and a half weeks younger than me.

Aunt Madalyn and her family were visiting us at the ranch in Thayne. Mike and I had been playing together for most of the day. Mom asked if I needed to go to the bathroom. (She used to call it "tinkle" or "toto".)

Then she and Aunt Madalyn took Mike and me into the bathroom to go to the bathroom together. As Mike and I were crossing streams as we peed into the toilet, Aunt Madalyn made an observation that Mike's stream sprinkled more than my stream.

I still have no idea what that meant. I do remember that for several days after that I tried making my stream "sprinkle" more when I went to pee in the toilet because I wanted to be more like Mike.
