bathrooms

Like many kids, I was so scared of taking a bath after seeing the movie JAWS. I believed that Jaws could come up through the faucet or that he was waiting for me.

My brother and sister told me that it lived a man/monster named "Arnold-under-badekaret" under our bathtub- and I of course believed them!

I used to believe that if the plug in the bathtub was pulled out while I was still in it I would go down the drain with all the water.

When I pulled the plug in the bath, it would make that draining sound: I used to believe that If I didn't shut my ears when the draining sound was happening, Dracula would come and get me.

I thought the Devil lived in the bathtub drain and if I stayed in the tub while the water drained I'd get sucked into Hell.

One day when I was 6 I learned that the toilet was NOT a water cooler. :/

When we were little our parents put us in the bath together to save on the hot water. We used to stir up the water with bubble bath in it to make more bubbles, which was good fun. However, my big sister convinced me that to play this game I had to have my eyes closed and my mouth open. If I started stirring without closing my eyes and opening my mouth she would say "Remember, Eyes Closed, Mouth Open!" and if I still didn't obey she would do it herself to remind me of my duty. I noticed at the time that while I was doing Eyes Closed, Mouth Open I used to get a lot of water in my mouth, but after all, we were stirring and there was water flying around - that was only to be expected. I didn't learn until I grew up that Eyes Closed, Mouth Open was invented entirely so that she could throw water into my mouth without me seeing.

Also at a country park near our house where we often went there was a miniature railway leading to a model "fairy village". We loved to ride on it, but one day my sister announced "You have to do Eyes Closed, Mouth Open or you won't see the fairies!" And like a fool, I obeyed. I don't think she put anything in my mouth that time, though. :-)

I used to make my mum get me out of the bath tub before she pulled the plug. I thought I would go down with the water!

Grandmother told me if I whistled in the bathroom the devil would come get me because I was whistling for him.

When I was young I was told that I should have some clothes on when I had a bath.
My mother said, if I didn't my guardian angel would run away.

I used to believe that a monster would crawl out of the bath tub and eat me

Once when I was about 5 I had to pee but my dad was in the shower. My mum let me in the bathroom to use the toilet, but warned me not to flush (because that would affect the temp of the shower) That led to me believing that the pipes in the house were connected so that if you flushed the toilet while someone was in the shower, then toilet water would rain down on them!

When my grandma used to babysit my cousin she would put her in the bath and just every once in awhile holler in "Becca..." What???" "Just checkin'"
Okay so one day when my grandma was in the bathroom Becca hollered in "Grammy....piece of chicken."

When we were little I told my sister that if you pulled the plug out of the drain in the bathtub and you were still in there you would go down too. Then I would pull the plug to hear her scream!

I used to believe that when shampoo or conditioner had "extra body" written on it. It meant that u could put it on your body as a sort of body wash. Needless to say our family ran out of shampoo and conditioner very very quickly!!
