When I was around 4 or 5, I had just learned how to take a shower. To help me feel more comfortable doing it on my own, my parents got a plastic cover for the shower head in the shape of a clown's face. He was smiling widely, and the water came through his open mouth.
It terrified me. I was convinced that it was alive and watching me, and if I took my eyes off of it for one second, it would seize the opportunity to attack. I remember groping blindly for shampoo and soap because I knew I could not look away if I wanted to escape the shower.
