at home: bathrooms

My mother took me to see the 3D Jaws movie when I was 2 (?) and I refused to keep my glasses on. She, apparently ready for anything, took a rubber band, a small pair of scissors and a mini stapler out of her purse. She cut off the arms to my 3D glasses and snipped the rubber band in two. Then she stapled the new 'arms' onto the frames of the glasses and sat me down again.

For the longest time, even though we had a septic tank then, I was convinced Jaws lived in the drain of our tub and was waiting to spring out and get me everytime I let the water out. For a long while I got my mom to pull the plug after I was safely down the hall (my logic dictated Jaws only wanted me, not anyone else). She finally got fed up with this arrangement and started making me pull it myself. I would stand there, huddled in a towel and sob, begging her not to make me do this horrible thing. I would literally stand as far away from the tub as I could get, facing the open door and FLY out of the bathroom, all the while pulling the chain attached to the plug and usually screaming my head off.

when i was abot 6 i was terrified of the drain because as the last bit of water went down it would make a loud grunting noise, i thought that it was a monster that would pull me down the drain and eat me.

I thought the gurle of the drain in the bathtub was a lion roaring. I assumed there was a lion in the basement that drank my bath water, and when the last of the water went down the drain, he roared.

I used to believe that if someone flushed the toilet when you were running the water (taking a shower, filling the tub, washing your hands etc) The pee or poop would come out of the faucet onto you...I think I got this idea because my Dad would always yell if we flushed the toilet when he was in the shower...I didn't realize what really happened is that the temp would change and burn him...oops...

when I was takinga bath my mom used to say "be sure to close the door so the draft doesn't get in" but I thought she was saying giraffe. So I would always leave the door open so the giraffe could get in to play in the tub with me, but my mom would always close it.

when i was little i was so afraid of my grandma's bathroom window it was close to a hill with a bunch of really tall pine trees and that reminded me about Jurassic park and i was deathly afraid of dinosaurs so i always thought that a big t-rex was going to come crashing through the trees and eat me.

Ww went to a shopping mall when I was about five years old, and my mom asked me if I had to go to the restroom. I belived that she was asking me if I wanted to sit and rest. I pictured a large room with lots of couches and chairs for people to sit on if they got tired from their shopping. I told I didn't need to rest and wasn't tired, but she then told me that a restroom was the same thing as a bathroom.

When I was little taking a shower i would always look down at the dripping water down the drain sometimes. and the water that was just about to fall looked like eye balls and i thought it was a monster staring at me. I was freaked out.

i used to believe that the water ion the toilet after you pee goes up to the faucet it was just filtered. so when ever i brush my teeth and some one goes to the bathroom to pee... i wanna vomit.....ewwww

When I was, like, 4 or something, I thought there were sleeping monsters behind the shower curtain, and when you flushed the toilet, the would wake up and get you. I'm still creeped out, and occaisionally, I'll run out of the bathroom.

After seeing the part of Jurassic Park where the man gets eaten in the bathroom I thought that if I went to the bathroom alone at night a T-rex head would come through the window and eat me. Why only at night, I don't know.

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!!

i used to think tht when i went for a bath tht a shark would come from some where n eat me so i used to always pull the plug n make ma mum put me n the shower!!!

My 4 yr. old daughter has a panic attack if anyone pulls the drain plug out of the drain of the bathtub while she is in it because she believes that she will go down the drain with her bathwater. I used to believe the same thing when I was little and thought it was neat that she did too!

I used to believe…

since 4years-old until i was about 8 i use to believe that there were sharks in the bathtub because my brother told me they could come out of the drain! he also made me watch jaws

My dad had a hard time getting my sister and I out of the bathtub when we were little, so he would tell us that if he pulled the plug from the drain we would go down the drain with the water!! We believed him

For a good chunk of my childhood, I was extremely leery of taking baths, and when I did, I refused to put my head in the water. My reasoning? I was certain that the water could seep in through my ears and drown me by suffocating my brain.
