my mom told me that when she was little, he brother told her that there was a genie in the toilet and that when you flush the genie would come out and get you. my mom believed him and would never flush. finally, her mom told her that she had to start flushing the toilet. then, to get away from the genie, she would flush the toilet, then run downstairs as fast as she could so the genie wouldn't get her.
