When I was a junior school, the girls had 2 rows of cubicles in their toilets, one with high level cisterns (like in the boys) and the other with (what I now know were) close-coupled WC/cisterns. I though that this latter row of cubicles contained the girls urinals, and wondered why they had to hide away to wee when us boys used the urinal in the open.

I used to believe that whenever I used the toilet and flushed it, all my waste was eaten by the toilet. I thought that most toilets favored poop.

When I was 3 or 4, I thought that everything that was flushed down the toilet was stored in the rectangular tank behind the seat. I used to wonder how they fit all that stuff in there, especially in public restrooms... the pipes by the handle were so small!

I used to believe that if I wasn't at home, I wasn't allowed to go to the toilet unless someone offered, as my mum had told me not to take something at someone's house unless they offered it to you. Consequently, whenever i was at a friend's house, I had "accidents" a lot. Fortunately I grew out of this at 7

I believed that toilets were permenately in the ground, so naturally when my father removed our old toilet(to put in a new on) I thought he had to be the strongest man in the world (or out of this world?!)

I was helping my daughter go potty in a public restroom and my 2 year old son was also with us...he wandered off and when I caught him he was holding the 'sanitary cake' from a urinal...about to take a bite! He thought it was a big candy.

true story - I was helping my 3 year old just-potty-trained son go pee and when done he wanted me to turn on the sink faucet before flushing the toilet so he could "see the water from the toilet come out the sink"

When I was little I used to think that a restroom was a place where you would sit down and rest. I imagined a luxurious room full of coutches, pillows, and blankets.

One time on a family trip to Disneyland, my mom asked us if anyone needed to go to the restroom. I was very tired- we had been walking around all day- so I said that i needed to go. I was very confused when my mom took me into the grungy bathroom and wondered where all the coutches were.

When i was six i used to think that when u flushed it would go to somebody else's toilet because when there was stuff in the toilet everybody said it wasn't them

I was 5 years old and nickelodeon was big that year. When I flushed the toilet I thought that the toilet sang ni-ni-nick-nick-na-nick-nick-nick nickelodeon. why?

I used to believe that the sound of the toilet flushing early in the morning would wake up our next door neighbor, so I'd always close the lid and pile towels on top of it to muffle the sound.

When i was little i used to think that your hair became brown if you didn't wash your hands properly after you had been to the toilet.

When I was 3, I really liked bathtime. But one night, my parents were watching this one show. I really wanted to take a bath. So, I took a bath in the toilet. I figured that since the tub and the toilet both had water in it, they were the same. I don't remember my parents' reaction when I walked into the room they were watching TV in in my mom's pink towel and told them that I was done with my bath.

when I was about 5 I loved the sailor moon show ... but whenever I used the toilet I had to finish wash my hands and then flush ... I also had to leave the restroom before it finished flushing because I was afraid that as soon as the flushing stopped the evil villain lady from ( I forget her name ) would rise out from the toilet and eat me if I was in there .

when my sister was little her goldfish was flushed down the drain. she loved it so much every time someone wasnt looking she would run to the bathroom and stick her hand in the toilet, and with all the kids in the house, none of them ever flushed the toilet, so every time we would catch her she would have crap all over her until all her close were stain with crap from the toilet
