at home: bathrooms

Once when I was about 5 I had to pee but my dad was in the shower. My mum let me in the bathroom to use the toilet, but warned me not to flush (because that would affect the temp of the shower) That led to me believing that the pipes in the house were connected so that if you flushed the toilet while someone was in the shower, then toilet water would rain down on them!

When my grandma used to babysit my cousin she would put her in the bath and just every once in awhile holler in "Becca..." What???" "Just checkin'"
Okay so one day when my grandma was in the bathroom Becca hollered in "Grammy....piece of chicken."

When we were little I told my sister that if you pulled the plug out of the drain in the bathtub and you were still in there you would go down too. Then I would pull the plug to hear her scream!

I used to believe that when shampoo or conditioner had "extra body" written on it. It meant that u could put it on your body as a sort of body wash. Needless to say our family ran out of shampoo and conditioner very very quickly!!

My mom told me that when she was a kid she was always scared that if she'll get too thin and be inside the bathtub, she'll be sucked down the drain. She went to therapy for that later. Seriously

I used to believe that if the bathroom light was on whatever monsters there were in the house would not be able to get me. Other lights would do, but the bathroom was best.

When I was old enough to see out the bathroom window while taking a shower, I noticed that the streetlamp would make an interesting diaper-shaped pattern on the privacy glass. For some reason, I thought that this pattern was God, and I would talk to it during every shower. I felt bad, though, since I was always naked when I talked to God. Everytime I opened the window, God disappeared, and all I could see was a streetlight. I believed this longer than I care to admit.

I used to beleive that if sat near the drain in the bathtub, there was a good
chance you were going to get sucked down
the drain by the DRAIN MONSTER, when the water was let out of the tub.

I used to believe that you could get washed down the drain when you took a shower, and I also briefly believed that you could get bit by an alligator who had been flushed when you used the toilet. I'd like to thank my older brothers for sharing that info with me :P

When I was around 4 or 5, my mom told me that if I didn't brush my teeth, pill bigs (or roly polies) would enter my mouth at night. She caught me standing in the bathtub brushing my teeth in my sleep after that.

my mum used to tell me that if i didn't brush my teeth little men would come and break my teeth with hammers. i remember being really worried in case i hadn't brushed properly!

I used to have to put the plug in the bath when I was having a shower because I thought spiders would come up through the plughole. I think I'd just seen Arachnophobia on TV or something...

i used to think that there was this shark living in the water pipes under our bath tub. and i was sure that if i turned my back on the drain, the shark would come right out of it and eat me. so, needless to say, actually getting OUT of the tub was quite difficult.

I used to believe…

the first time i started showering since since i graduated fromt he bath which usually i usually share with my brother, i had to have my mother stand in the bathroom with me while i showered. i was absulutely terrified that gremlins were standing on each other's shoulders and peeking through the small hexagonal window in the corner of the stall

I used to think that the Vacuum Cleaner was pronounced "BATHROOM CLEANER". This was re-inforced by the fact that my Mom kept it behind the door in the Bathroom.

In the medicine cabinet of my childhood home, there was a small slot at the back that was designed for disposing of used razor blades. My sister and I discovered it one day and were amazed. We thought it was a coin slot, and that if we put pennies in it, gumballs would come out from somewhere. We put tons of coins down it, and ran to various places such as the heating vent to see if a gumball came out. Then we started putting hand writted notes down the slot. Somewhere in the inner wall of that bathroom is a lot of money and funny messages, wonder if they will ever be discovered?
