Step right in

The game is called "Shoes," and its rules are simple.

"Play shoes, Abby!" Caleb yells from the laundry room, where he's already getting a head start.

"You wear daddy's shoes, 'cause you're a boy, Caleb," instructs Abby, pulling all of our shoes out into the living room. "I'll wear mommy's shoes, 'cause I'm a girl, and they look silly on you."

"I wear daddy's boots, Abby!" Caleb agrees, but in a tone that lets her know that was his plan all along.

They then proceed to try on every shoe, boot, slipper, and high heeled Mary Jane they can find, trading when they get tired of them, and not necessarily always wearing a matching pair.

As far as I can tell, the goal of the game is to get into a pair of shoes as quickly as possible, laugh as loudly as possible, try to walk as far as possible, and fall over as dramatically as possible.

They're both really good at it.
