When I was little, sometimes my mom would let me use her bathroom (to take bubble baths with my Barbies). Sometimes, I see thin, brown, coiled layers in the toilet bowl. I would get terrified, thinking that there was a disgusting snake living in our pipes who came up into the toilet to shed his old skin. Actually, these thin, coiled layers were shavings from my mom sharpening her eye pencil and forgetting to flush it away.
