I used to think if you sat on the same toilet as a boy you got pregnant. Therefore I would squat above the toilet anytime my male friends came over.

When I was wee, my grandmother had me believe the Tidy Bowl Man (from the television commercials) lived in the toilet tank. (Not the bowl, this man was GOOD!) I never saw him, no matter how many times I looked in the tank.

My little brother wouldn't flush after he peed, and I thought if I, (his sister), peed on top of his pee in the toilet, it would make a baby.

My roommate Amy has a cousin called "Little Terry", because his father is also named Terry.

Little Terry is fluent in Spanish, his mother being Cuban, and so he refers to poo as "cacuca" /kah-KOO-kah/, like a nickname.

He never did quite get the hang of sharing, and so early on, when he'd go to the bathroom, he'd cry, "I don't want to flush!" When his mother, Anita, would ask why, he'd whine, "That's _my_ cacuca! I don't want to flush it!", as if he might be allowed to _keep_ the stuff. :P

"ashes to ashes, dust to dust, if it wasn't for your asshole your belly would bust!" This is what my non-religious father would say if asked to pray - talk about embarassing - but it also had me firmly convinced that not going to the restroom in a timely manner would make my belly get fat or even explode! So, yes, in my young and innocent mind all obese people really just needed a good bathroom break.

When I was little my mom used to but those things you put in the toilet to make the water turn blue. Well my brother once told me that it was make out of Smurf's (For those who don't know Smurfs are blue cartoon characters) and every time I would go it would make me cry.

i used to think that building with a TO LET board outside was a public toilet.. but the person who put the board up jus couldnt spell...

As the youngest of nine, in a household with eleven occupants total, we used the numerical method when discussing toilet issues. You know; "Hurry up I gotta go #1, #2"...........Once I mastered that system and I realized that bigger was more important , well lets just say in a one and a half bath house this particular situation was definitely critical , so I yelled "Hurry up I gotta go #4!" I think it worked once?

I used to believe that the blue water in the toilet was like blue cream soda. I never got the nerve to taste it, but I believed this until I was about 6. I also used to believe that if you sat on the toilet, and flushed it at the same time, the suction could suck you down into the toilet. To this day I still lift my bum off the toilet just a bit before flushing.....

i used to think that WC on public toilets meant Women's something, and i was always confused as to where the MC was.

I always though as a kid that "To Let" signs were public conveniences with an I missing. Really.

When my son was about 2 and a half, after he would go potty in the toilet, he would flush it and looking into the bowl and waving he'd say, "Bye poo poo, bye pee pee". Like they were a living part of his body. It sounds disgusting but it was really very cute and I love to remind him of it...every now and then. ;)

i used to believe that behind the automatic flushing toilets in public restrooms that there was a person watching you go...so they knew when to flush for you. im still not convinced that somebody isnt there.

The toilet was an interesting thing to me, I could never figure out where everything went, so I used to think that when you went to the bathroom you were actually feeding a whole community of tiny people underground, so when you made a big poop, they were really happy about it.

in the town I grew up in there was a row of about twenty houses that where divided into two flats for each house. The sign out the front of the estate said ''emergency flats". I believed that these were flats where the toilets where realy close to every room in the house, in case there was an 'emergency'!
