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....

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 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.

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 ;)

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.

when i was a kid people used to tell me that "god" was everywhere and invisible. when i looked inside the toilet or inside a cup or inside a bucket, i would always see what looked to me like a reflection of a persons bottom (though it's really just the shadow of the sides of the toilet/bucket/cup/etc).... i thought that it was the reflection of god's bum and that he was sitting on all these things, especially the toilet, and i would feel guilty for sitting on the toilet as I believed I was "squashing god".

At school I always wondered what the boy's toilets looked like I used to believe they had dragons guarding theirs, I used to believe that unicorns guarded the girl's toilets, I did go in to have a look, I was surprised to find it was blue. I was never caught or in trouble.

I used to believe that if I farted in the toilet the water would collect the scent. I frequently visited the washroom simply to flush my farts away.

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.

Until I was about 8 or 9, I thought that the "Eau de toilette" on perfume bottles meant that it lasted until the next time you went to the toilet. For this reason, I always went to the loo before spraying any, so that it would last as long as possible.

Ruby

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 thought that toilet seats were covers to stop men splashing etc and to keep the seat clean and that you sat on the cold bit. I continued to use toilets in this way until my late teens disgusted at the way other people failed to use the cover properly.

When I was little I had never been to the men's restroom, because my mom always took me in the ladie's restroom with her. Once we were at the store with her boyfriend, and he took me to the men's room. I had never seen a urinal before. I told my mom that her boyfriend had just peed in the sink!

From age 5 to about 10, I thought that the tank on the back of the toilet collected the water that went down the sink or bath tub drains. And that that water was used to flush waste away. Oddly I recently found out that this eco friendly idea has been used...I should have spoken up as a child I could have become a very wealthy individual.

I used to believe that the spider in our loo ate big juicy strawberries. I brought it one every morning and when I went back in the strawberry was gone. This was when I was 5, I have now found out that my gran removed the strawberry every morning. Devastated!

My Dad told me that the Queen of England had a solid gold toilet and a special servant to wipe her backside.

I used to think when you flushed the toilet, it filtered all the bad stuff out and drained down to poor people who collected the water in cups.
