When I was about 4 my parents took me to the circus and whilst the elephants were performing everyone started to laugh. I asked my parents what they were laughing at and they said an elephant had “had a poo”, by the time I had looked over to the offending elephant, they had thrown straw over the pile, so for years I was convinced elephants poo’d straw!
