When I was in about 1st grade, my friend told me that this little man came out of the toilet and pinched her but when she went to the bathroom. I believed everyword she said and imagined him as this little leprechaun type thing with pinchers for hands. I even kept vigils at the toilets trying to catch a glimpse of him. How dumb

I used to think you could get pregnant by sitting on a toilet seat.

when i was about 5 and my sister was about 4, our mother had told us that after you went poop a little tidy bowl man in a canoe with oars would swim up to your poop, pick it up, and take it to his family. so my sister and i would always go to the bathroom then put the toilet seat down and stare into the cracks to see the little man. and unfortunately we never saw him. but now i am 15 and i know about sewage lines. lol

I used to believe that when I peed, if I could fill up the entire toilet bowl with bubbles I was protecting my family for 1 more day from burglars. To this day, I'm VERY effective at making bubbles :)

When I was little, I used to believe that one could use a toilet as a trash can, so I would dig stuff out of the bathroom trash (e.g., Band-Aid wrappers, dental floss, etc.) and flush it down the toilet. Eventually, my mom had to call a plumber to get said trash out of there. Boy was she mad.

Because as I child, everything you use is 'child-sized' or 'kid-friendly' ... I used to believe that the toilet seat was another 'kid-friendly' device, built to fit kid-sized bums.

Because mom and dad had larger bums than I did, I figured that they didn't use the toilet seat but had to sit on the cold-hard porcelin bowl.

my neighbour told me to keep the lid of the toilet down because at night time if it was up rats would come up the pipes from the sewer and into your house

While going to the bathroom I accidentaly dropped my favorite Matchbox toy truck into the toilet. I believed that I could flush away the yellow water before I put my hand into the bowl to get the toy out. I was shocked when my beloved red truck disappeared down the drain.

When I was little I used to believe that the toilet was a garbage so when I was 3 I flushed or tryed to flush a apple down the toilet. My dad had to get it out.

My toilet when I was little was the kind with one big hole and one small one. I used to think that the big one was for poo and the small one was for pee.

When we was younger me and my brother always got moaned at for not pulling the chain. When my brother was about 14/15 the area we were living in had bad weather and we had a powecut. My brother went to bathroom, did his thing came out and came back dowon stairs. " I didn't hear the chain go" my mum said, my brother replied with "It won't work duh" My mum looked puzzled "well the powers off". He thought that the chain ran of electricity! Me and mum still annoy him with it.

i was in the toilets in the shopping centre the other day, when a mother and two lttle kids came in, and went into the stall. Obviously one kid had done his business and had gone to flush, and the mother had asked him to wait till his sister had done her business before he flushed. The kid asked why, and the mother replied, "because every time you flush the toilet, a fishie dies, and every time you use too much toilet paper a tree dies." I was somewhat traumatised, sitting in the next cubicle!!

i believed that if you sat on the toilet to long a monster would jump out and eat you, this came as a shock to my mum when i ran out of the bathroom tryin to pull my trousers up shouting 'it's goin to eat me, ah.'
