After watching "Jaws" (one of our more gullible babysitters let us do it), my youngest brother was convinced that sharks came up into toilets to eat the people sitting on them. The rest of us encouraged this phobia by humming the theme song every time he went into the bathroom. This eventually backfired on us: my mother made us go in the bathroom with him, b/c he was starting to get constipated.
