When I was little, I got the concept of potty training FAST.
But nobody told me to go in the crapper.
So, I figured you were supposed to pee in the vents. The vents on the walls were for big boys who knew all the way how to go potty.
It started with my own vents.
Then it cropped up in other people's houses.
'Twas quite a romp, 'til it ended with my parents, an office complex, and an angry old man.
A childhood belief about weeing and pooing

- My brother used to be scared to poop in the potty. He thought that he was pooping out his bones.— Lillyth
