Being sucked down the bathtub... My Grandmother once told me when I was 4 or 5 that if I didn't finish all the food on my plate I would end up so thin I'd get sucked down the bathtub hole when someone pulled the plug. It didn't actually make me finish my food but I ended up being really scared of going down with the gurgling water at the end of my bath!
