When me and my sister were kids, my dad used to sing us that song by Cream called "A Mother's Lament", and if you've heard it, you know it's a rather sad song, in a funny way, about a mother who turns her back on the tub for just a second so that she could get the soap, only to turn back around and find that her baby was so tiny, he was sucked down the plug.
Needless to say, we were afraid of going down the "pluggole".
