It's neither good nor bad; it is what it is. Counterintuitive, I know, but it's true. :)<br /><br />SO... There are two stalls. One for each of the boys. Colin's bum hits the seat and he immediately starts singing "I Am A Child Of God" in his adorable Deaf accent as he waits for things to... ahem... get going.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">After a few lines, Ben shouts from the next stall (in HIS adorable Deaf accent): "Be hwiat, Howin!
