when i was like 3 or 4 i learned to swim. although i was good at all the strokes, i never wanted to go under the water becouse even if i was at the other end of the pool, the drain monster thing would come out of the drain and it would drown me. im normal now, except for my irrational fear of the penut butter monster.
