I used to belive that the little black hole inside the toilet was a camera. so when i use the toilet i look at the toilet bowl and say "this isn't gonna be very preety so either turn off that camera or you asked for it!" unfortunately i still say that today...(even in public bathrooms)

I want privacy!!

I used to think that when you would flush the toilet that all your pee and poop would go down to this little guy under the toilet and he would make a huge cake out of it and then every so often all of the other toilet cake makers would have a party and vote on who had the best cakes. I tried to make sure I always gave him good ingrediants so my toilet guy would win! lol. i was a weird kid!

I used to believe that if I farted in the toilet the water would collect the scent. I frequently visited the washroom simply to flush my farts away.

I used to believe that toilets actually ate poop, and if you didn't poop enough, the toilet would starve to death. (same thing with drinking pee)

When I was about 4 years old my Dad took my brother & me camping in a State Park. This was the first time I'd seen an outhouse. When I first went in I was shocked by the odor. It reminded me of a cow pasture in the hot summer sun. I thought I had discovered where cows go to the bathroom!

The handicap sign is always seen in public restrooms so I automatically thought it was a guy sitting on a toilet. It always confused the hell out of me when i saw them on parking spaces.

When I was little I used to think that using public toilets made your bottom larger. Don't ask me where I got this from, I have no idea! My music teacher had a rather large behind so i thought she must use public toilets a lot....

i used to think that the flushing of the toilet sounded exactly like the theme music from sesame street. every time i flushed i would kinda hum along. i don't hear the similarity anymore, but every time i flush i'm reminded of my misguided musical mind.

when I was little, I thought the big stalls were for royalty and celebrities, when they visited

I used to believe that whenever my brothers and sisters had candy, they had gotten it from the "magic toilet" which is a secret place where goodies come out. I thought each person had their own personal magic toilet and you just had to find yours. Unfortunately, I never found mine, but I think my sister's was a hole in her door that had a piece of candy in it.

i used to think toilets were small bath tubs for animals. so I found a frog and put it in the toilet and my grandma went in the bathroom I herd a scream and I laughed pretty hard when she carried the frog out of the bathroom!! but i was pretty young oops ;)

Until I was about 8 or 9, I thought that the "Eau de toilette" on perfume bottles meant that it lasted until the next time you went to the toilet. For this reason, I always went to the loo before spraying any, so that it would last as long as possible.

At school I always wondered what the boy's toilets looked like I used to believe they had dragons guarding theirs, I used to believe that unicorns guarded the girl's toilets, I did go in to have a look, I was surprised to find it was blue. I was never caught or in trouble.

From age 5 to about 10, I thought that the tank on the back of the toilet collected the water that went down the sink or bath tub drains. And that that water was used to flush waste away. Oddly I recently found out that this eco friendly idea has been used...I should have spoken up as a child I could have become a very wealthy individual.

when i was about4 , my older sister told me that every time that you hear a toilet flushing,someone just died.so, one day we went to the local theme park. we went near the porter potties and i heard a toilet flush. i started thinking about what my sister had told me . after about 11 flushes , i started crying. everyone was staring at me.i could not stop crying. i never told my mom why , but i did not visit another theme park till i was 6

My brother and sister told me that if I sat on the toliet and said magic words, I could travel to fun land! They laughed so hard when they heard me receiting the words in the bathroom.

when i was a kid people used to tell me that "god" was everywhere and invisible. when i looked inside the toilet or inside a cup or inside a bucket, i would always see what looked to me like a reflection of a persons bottom (though it's really just the shadow of the sides of the toilet/bucket/cup/etc).... i thought that it was the reflection of god's bum and that he was sitting on all these things, especially the toilet, and i would feel guilty for sitting on the toilet as I believed I was "squashing god".

When I was in preschool I was afraid to go to the bathroom by myself. Finally, one day my preschool teacher told me that Jesus was with me everywhere I went. So every time I went to the bathroom, I would open the stall next to mine to let Jesus go to the bathroom too. I always remembered to flush after him too!

I used to think that a manhole cover led down to this little room where three guys were playing cards. Then, when someone flushed the toilet, their turd would come down the delivery chute, a bell would ring, and the guys would argue about who's turn it was to take care of it.

I thought that toilet paper was bread and by puting it it the toilet i was feeding the ducks at the bottem.
