after watching 'The Little Mermaid' (a Disney film) i was traumatised by Ursula (the big scary half witch half octopus thing) and i used to believe (dont ask me why) that when I was at home, after I flused the loo one of her long tenticled arms would come and chase me and try to take me away from home to her secret underground cavern. I would wash my hands and sprint out of the bathroom terrified everytime. As I got older, the monster changed from Ursula to the Phantom (from Phantom of the Opera).
I still don't like spending more time than in neccessary in the bathroom..
