When i was little i used to believe that anything you flushed down the toilet would come back up with the new water. one day when i was three i told my mom i could go to the bathroom all by myself. she asked if i was sure i i said "of course i'm sure." She told me to change into my pajamas while i was in there. to test my theory, i flushed my favorite pajamas down the toilet (they were silk so the toilet didn't clog). i stared at the toilet for a while waiting for them to come back up but the only thing that came down(i later learned that water came down, not up) was new water. my mom asked what was taking so long and i ran out of the bathroom in my underwear crying and screaming "THE TOILET ATE MY PAJAMAS AND IT WON'T GIVE THEM BACK!!!" my mother quietly laughed at me and then explained how toilets actually worked.

I beleived that if I cut out a toilet from a catalogue and very carefully cut the lid off it you would be able to see inside the toilet bowl.

I used to belive that the little black hole inside the toilet was a camera. so when i use the toilet i look at the toilet bowl and say "this isn't gonna be very preety so either turn off that camera or you asked for it!" unfortunately i still say that today...(even in public bathrooms)

I want privacy!!

I had two bathrooms upstairs and one downstairs. One of the bathroom upstairs is directly above the one downstairs. Than I had the most brilliant idea ever!!! I ran upstairs into the bathroom and flushed the toilet. In, let's say, "mid-flush", I screamed nonsense words into the toilet. Than I sprinted down stairs and down the hall into the downstairs bathroom. I sat there, leaning over the toilet with the lid wide open, staring into the water. Waiting. For my voice.

When I was about 4 years old my Dad took my brother & me camping in a State Park. This was the first time I'd seen an outhouse. When I first went in I was shocked by the odor. It reminded me of a cow pasture in the hot summer sun. I thought I had discovered where cows go to the bathroom!

I used to think that when you would flush the toilet that all your pee and poop would go down to this little guy under the toilet and he would make a huge cake out of it and then every so often all of the other toilet cake makers would have a party and vote on who had the best cakes. I tried to make sure I always gave him good ingrediants so my toilet guy would win! lol. i was a weird kid!

Up untill the first year of grade school, I would always sit on the toilet, facing the tank, while taking a dump. If I sat the usual way on the toilet, I belived, there was a posibility of either transform into something non-human or my gender would change. I could not keep this up for long, however, for doing this required that I remove both my pants and shoes.

When I was little I used to think that using public toilets made your bottom larger. Don't ask me where I got this from, I have no idea! My music teacher had a rather large behind so i thought she must use public toilets a lot....

When my son was about two, he liked to accompany me to the bathroom EVERY TIME I WENT. One time, I asked him if I could have some privacy, and I'm not sure where he got this idea, but he replied, "Sure!" and turned around, reaching under the sink for a sanitary napkin, which he handed me, so proud for being a terrific help. He still didn't leave the room.

i used to think that the flushing of the toilet sounded exactly like the theme music from sesame street. every time i flushed i would kinda hum along. i don't hear the similarity anymore, but every time i flush i'm reminded of my misguided musical mind.

I used to believe that toilets actually ate poop, and if you didn't poop enough, the toilet would starve to death. (same thing with drinking pee)

when I was little I used to believe the toilet was my dad's pet and if you didn't feed him, he would die.

i used to think toilets were small bath tubs for animals. so I found a frog and put it in the toilet and my grandma went in the bathroom I herd a scream and I laughed pretty hard when she carried the frog out of the bathroom!! but i was pretty young oops ;)

I used to believe that whenever my brothers and sisters had candy, they had gotten it from the "magic toilet" which is a secret place where goodies come out. I thought each person had their own personal magic toilet and you just had to find yours. Unfortunately, I never found mine, but I think my sister's was a hole in her door that had a piece of candy in it.

when i was about4 , my older sister told me that every time that you hear a toilet flushing,someone just died.so, one day we went to the local theme park. we went near the porter potties and i heard a toilet flush. i started thinking about what my sister had told me . after about 11 flushes , i started crying. everyone was staring at me.i could not stop crying. i never told my mom why , but i did not visit another theme park till i was 6

My brother and sister told me that if I sat on the toliet and said magic words, I could travel to fun land! They laughed so hard when they heard me receiting the words in the bathroom.

For no reason I can remember when I was really little I believed Santa lived wherever the pipes in the toilet led to. I tried to write a Christmas list on toilet paper and flushed it to send it to him. I felt very sorry for him.

I used to think that a manhole cover led down to this little room where three guys were playing cards. Then, when someone flushed the toilet, their turd would come down the delivery chute, a bell would ring, and the guys would argue about who's turn it was to take care of it.

I thought that toilet paper was bread and by puting it it the toilet i was feeding the ducks at the bottem.

When i was in about 3rd grade, i never washed my hands because i was afraid that the water would soak through my hands and go into my body and make me have to "go" again.
