I used to love taking baths as a child, and it would always take forever for my parents to get me out. Therefore, my dad made up a lie that once he began draining the water out of the tub, I would eventually be sucked in with it if I remained in the tub. He told me it had happened to my brother once before, and he ended up coming out of the sewer in our street. I cried after hearing this and for years after, I would get out of the bath and then drain it- I wasn't taking any risks.
