I used to believe that when you flushed the toliet when someone was taking a shower, that the toliet water would go into the shower.

When I was in 3rd grade, after eating lunch at our school my whole class would walk down the hallways to the bathroom and stop to let everyone go. I remember all of my female classmates going into the bathroom, and taking at least 15 minutes (or so it felt like.) Being a boy i could not understand why or how anyone could spend THAT long in a bathroom!! I then came to the conclusion that there must be some big, beautiful garden in the girls restroom. A garden complete with a big playground area and anything else that would cause these girls to spend that long in the restrooms.

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.

When I was little I used to think that there were monsters down in the ground below your toilet and when you flushed that was their food and drink. I thought when you just peed that they were getting their drink, and when you pooped that was their meal. I always said here comes your food when I flushed. I thought they were so grateful when they heared that flush.

Spray paint cans have marbles in them to help stir the paint when you shake them. When I was little, my dad used to cut the cans open and put the marbles in the toilet tank. For the longest time, I believed that if you went poo poo once a day, your toilet would produce these marbles for you to play with.

I used to think that the sound after the toilet was flushed was ladies singing

I thought here was always some little people on my bathroom floor, so when i was sitting on the toilet, i would try to talk to them.

I used to believe that when I flushed the toilet in Fort Worth, TX, its contents went off to a warehouse in Dallas.

An older cousin of mine, when she was about six, was under the impression that every night a man had to come into everyone's house to remove the poop that had accumulated in the back of the toilet. This man was called the Plumber, and he carried a large vacuum that he would insert into the toilet to suck everything out in reverse. If you ever happened to be on the toilet in the middle of the night when the Plumber appeared, he would surely suck your butt off without noticing. She told me this several times, although I was never sure if I should believe her or not.

I used to think that all the pee pee and poo poo and the water that carried it went to a place where they cleaned it and that was what came out of our faucets. I used it as my excuse to not have to drink water.

We used to have trouble with our toilet flushing. Alot of times it wouldn't go all the way down, so my step brother had my convinced that before you flushed the toilet, if you put the lid down, and told it "now if you go all the way down, I'll give you a nice pat on the back" that it would completely flush. And the freakiest part of it was that if I told the toilet that, it flushed properly, but if I forgot, it wouldn't. o_0

My Mom used to tell me that when I flushed the toilet, the "toilet farie" would magicly give me a dollar outside the bathroom door.
She would be standing outside the bathroom door kind of at the side and than when she heard it flush she would throw a dollar at the door and sneak away.

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...

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! :-)

i used to think that in cuba there were no toilets. i thought that little machines would follow people around sucking up pee and poop.

I live in block of flats and as a child I believed that when the man above you flush the water in toilet, this water comes to your flush and then you use it, and so on till in the ground floor it finally goes out to sewages...

How good it does not really work in such a way - we live in 1st floor!
