Sentence saying each wanting to pay his own thing

Hi. Please help. I want to write a sentence which says that each of the two people, the boy and man, are standing in line to pay for his own "something." Is this right?

Both a man and boy are standing in line to pay for something.

Should I include this at the end?

Both a man and boy are standing in line to pay for something, each with his own thing.

Anonymous Both a man and boy are standing in line to pay for something. This is fine, and better than your other suggestion. CJ
