For some strange reason, when I was about 4 I used to believe that Snuffalupagus lived in the plumbing of public bathrooms. So when I started kindergarten, whenever I had to use the bathroom I would sneak in quietly, open the stall door, and sit down. I thought that if he couldn't hear me, he wouldn't come drag me down the toilet with his trunk. but then came the dreaded flushing time... I would quietly get up, pull my pants up, then open the door for a quick getaway. Id pull down the handle and run like a madwoman till I was outside, where I would hold the door shut for at least 5 minutes. Me and my crazy imagination!
