when i was about 5 my brother told me that there were twin brother alligators called Tweedle-dee and Tweedl-dum living in the sewers. he said there were friendly and some times come up form the toilet to visit people. let's just say i was terrified of sitting on toilets. i thought an alligator would bite me, so i would try to be as fast as i could. (this didn't help at all because i was already afaid of getting flushed so i would hit the flush lever thing and jump back as far away as i could)
my dad had me convinced for the longest time that there were such things as jackalopes (a dangers mosners that is a cross between a jack rabbit and an antalope) he even had a picture of one.
