when me and my neighbour were small girls we believed our toys and dolls would come alive when we weren't there. We extended this belief to bodily functions, but as we never saw the dolls go to the loo, we figured they needed some help. We held them over the loo but nothing happened. Mum asked what we were doing but I guess it seemed harmless so she left us to it.
Upset because the dolls didn't appear to be able to wee, we did it for them. In a jam jar.
Later that day I took my mum a jam jar full of my wee to show her what my dollies had done. She was unimpressed.
