toilets: general

I used to believe…

When my sister Julie (aka Tigger) was about 3 she & mom were visiting a neighbor. They had a new toilet sitting in the living room waiting to be installed. Well, it seems Julie needed to have a poo-poo, so she did just that...then wondered why it wouldn't flush!!! LOL!!!

You know in the areoplane toilet, well when i was really young i used to believe that when you flush the toilet all the waste would drop out of the plane on to the ground below! Boy was i wrong!!

I used to believe…

When I was a kid, every time I got in trouble for doing something wrong, I'd run to the bathroom and flush the "bad Jimmy" down the toilet. I figured that if the bad version of me was flushed away, the "good one" wouldn't get in any trouble! Hey, it was cute at the time and got me out of many a bind! :-)

When I was little, from about age 4, I wouldn't flush the toilet if the water was blue. I was afraid that it would make the blue go away and the people who made it blue would be mad at me.

I used to believe…

when i was little, i hated going to pee during the night because i thought that if i didn't make it from the bathroom back into my bed before the toilet stopped making flushing noises, vampires would swoop into my house and take me away. needless to say, i rarely washed my hands.

When I was in first grade, my family took a vacation to Europe. We took a small 14-or-so passenger plane to get from one place to another, and my parents joked that it was child size. This got me thinking that in Europe they were more considerate to small kids. When we got to France, at the hotel there were two sinks. One was normal size, and the other one next to the toilet. I was so excited that they made kid-size sinks.
My parents later told me that it was a bidet, not used for washing hands.

When i was younger there was an advert on TV when someone talked on the phone on an aeroplane toilet and then got sucked out into the air. Because of this and my older sister, i was terrified of going to the toilet on planes. i thought that if i did it would suck me out and kill me. I didn't stop to think that i'd been on planes before and nothing had happened!
On the rare occasion we went on a plane, i just rushed to the toilet the minute we got off. The worst time this happened was on a 7 hour flight.

Not mine, but this came from my 3-yr-old daughter yesterday.
She refused to go potty anymore, and when I asked the reason, she pointed out that the toilet water was now blue, after dropping in a Ty-D-Bol disk in the tank.
Her reasoning was that the water was now too pretty to urinate in.
Have you ever tried to remove a soggy toilet disk with a BBQ tong..?

When i was six i used to think that when u flushed it would go to somebody else's toilet because when there was stuff in the toilet everybody said it wasn't them

One of my friends thought an aligator named Betty lived under her toilet. She used to flush food down to it after dinner. One night, though, the toilet didn't flush and she had to explaint to her parents why some peas and a chicken drumstick were floating in the toilet bowl.

I always wondered why the toilets of boys and girls were apart.I interperted that that they may have pink coloured walls,flowery cuboards and girly stuff.

In schoolI thought that the used toliet water would come back out through the water fountans because there right there next to the bathrooms and I would never drink fomr foutains unless I was really really thirsty.

When I was 3, I really liked bathtime. But one night, my parents were watching this one show. I really wanted to take a bath. So, I took a bath in the toilet. I figured that since the tub and the toilet both had water in it, they were the same. I don't remember my parents' reaction when I walked into the room they were watching TV in in my mom's pink towel and told them that I was done with my bath.

I used to believe…

When I was a toddler, I used to think the toilet bowl was like the wishing wells me & my mother would always go to in the park. I would take pennies, and throw them into the toilet, then I would flush thinking my wish would come true. No wonder the toilet suddenly got stopped up...

I used to believe…

When I was little I never got to stay up late, so I didn't know what happened at midnight. I thought it was a magical time when stuffed animals and toys came to life. I also thought monsters came out and all my toys protected me.

I used to believe that if i sat on the toilet for too long, a prosthetic arm was going to fly out of the toilet shove itself up my butt.

I dont know why! I was a weird kid!
