When I was in second grade my older sister told me she was learning about 'The Black Death' at school. She told me that people would die this horrible death because rats would bite them on their bottoms when they were squatting down 'going to the bathroom'... For YEARS I believed a rats would climb through the pipes and into the toilet and bite my butt!! I could never sit on it for very long without turning to check for rats.
To this day, I have a serious rodent phobia!
