I believed basically everything my brother told me. Like, it was cool to stick a gummy bear in your nose. Well, that one failed when my dad had to take tweezers to my little nostril. Anyway, my brother also told me in order to get taller (and i was and am a short asian girl), when you're on the shitter, rest your upper body against your legs. Then push your body against your legs until they begin to shake and when they do, you're growing!

When I was a kid, I used to believe that there was a snake that lived in the toilet that would control when you had to use the bathroom. I assumed that if given the chance the snake would bite you and make you need to go to the bathroom in the most inoportune places. For example: on a highway with no rest stops. Therefore, I would spend as little time on the toilet as necesary.

When I was young, I used to think that the sign "TO LET" was for toilet but for some reason the 'I' was missing.

When I was about 6 years old, I decided (all on my own apparently) that when you flushed the toilet it all went under the house. And that there was a hugh Gnome city under the house and many of the gnomes were like mine workers and it must be them who took all of the poop away. I don't think I ever got really clear on what they did with it. But I knew it had to go somewhere after that.

As the youngest of nine, in a household with eleven occupants total, we used the numerical method when discussing toilet issues. You know; "Hurry up I gotta go #1, #2"...........Once I mastered that system and I realized that bigger was more important , well lets just say in a one and a half bath house this particular situation was definitely critical , so I yelled "Hurry up I gotta go #4!" I think it worked once?

My little brother wouldn't flush after he peed, and I thought if I, (his sister), peed on top of his pee in the toilet, it would make a baby.

I used to think that the toilet was an animal, and it waited for people to deposite their 'waste' down the drain to feed him. Everytime i went to the bathroom, i felt like i was feeding the toilet, like you would a pet.

When I was about 7 or 8, my grandfather visited a farm. I had to use the restroom, and two doors said "pointers" and "setters." Well, I didn't have a clue, so I just guessed "pointers." Oops!

I was always convinced that the water tank in our bathroom would kill me, so I'd have to pee and flush the toilet, then run out the bathroom really quickly before it started to growl. Even now at 22, I'm terrified of all tanks that contain water and are raised of the ground. I can't even look inside a toilet cistern!!!

My older brother told when that babies were created when people took a dump in the toilet. so until i was 7 i always looked in the toilet to see if there was a baby there!

I used to believe (age 4 or 5) that you had to water the tile of the bathroom floor, like my mom watered the garden. I never really watered the floor but I would pretend :S

i used to belive that my toilet was a gateway to another dimension and when i was three (i was very small and skinny) i sat in the toilet and flushed my self and the water span me round and i was thinking "wow im going to another dimension". when i opened my eyes i was facing the other way and all i saw was white from the back of my toilet so i leaped out and grabbed some toilet paper and ran around my house spreading it everywhere so that i could "destroy the bad guys of the next dimension" until my dad stopped me and sent me to my room. I still wait for the right time to re-enter that dimension!
