When my second born son was about 3 and was potty training he dookie downed a huge long poo and he stood up and looked in the toilet and started crying really really hard. He yelled to his dad and I to come and make the sneak (he couldn't say snake) go away. He refused to go poo after that for the longest time because he thought snakes were in the toilet.
