Like a lot of children, I was scared of toilets flushing for some reason. One night I had somehow blocked up the toilet (I don't remember how, maybe I dropped an empty toilet roll in it). Anyway, my Mum was slightly annoyed & sent me on my way to bed while she unblocked it. I was terrified she would get sucked down & die so I went to my room & cried for half an hour.
