when i was 8 i read that all the water in the world is reused all the time, and I assumed that ocean water, which had touched giant squids, had been reused as the water in my shower.
I was terrified to take showers because the water had touched giant squids before, and washed myself in the sink (including my hair). My brother found out I had been washing my hair in the sink, and when I told him why he cracked up and teased me about it relentlessly until I got annoyed and took normal showers again.
