Congratulations on Marking Your Territory!

You and your brother have been at this for years. When you were kids you used to do it every day, but as time went by and the distance grew greater you’d always expected the contest would fade. It hasn’t. You’ve never stopped marking one another’s property with your urine and you likely never will.

Today you’ll break into his home while he isn’t there and urinate on his possessions selectively. You’ll take great care not to get a single drop of pee on his wife’s side of the bed, to mark the correct toothbrush, and to coat the bowflex in your urine. Then you’ll depart without any unwanted traces.

You’ll be home in time to see your son return from school and ask him how his day was. He’ll frown as you fix him a sandwich with your freshly washed hands, discussing the way girls confuse him. You’ll chuckle affably and tell him that that will never change, taking great care to smell each piece of kitchenware before using it on your son’s food.

Your brother knows how much you like to cook, after all.

Congratulations on Marking Your Territory!
