I went to the circus once and I had to use the restroom, I was 9 years old at the time. The toilet was constantly flushing and I thought I would drop everything important into the toilet and it would be lost forever. I would have nightmares of dropping a picture of my Auntie in the toilet and it would be gone, or a fear of thinking I was going to throw it in the toilet against my will.
