Eeny Meeny

This morning at breakfast, both boys wanted Annette to sit next to them. So instead of fighting, I overhead Joshua suggest to Sam to use eeny meeny to decide who would get Annette. And since they haven't figured out the secret of eeny meeny miney mo yet (start with the other guy), they genuinely use it all the time when faced with an arbitrary decision.
Later, while shopping for their potty training prizes, Samuel was torn between picking the green trailer tractor truck, or the blue one. He couldn't decide, so finally, he just kneeled down in the middle of the store aisle, in front of his trucks and started to count slowly, "Eeny, meeny, miney mo....". The green one won.
