I was helping my daughter go potty in a public restroom and my 2 year old son was also with us...he wandered off and when I caught him he was holding the 'sanitary cake' from a urinal...about to take a bite! He thought it was a big candy.

I use to fear when I went on the toliet and I was on too long that a hand would come up. Then it would try to flush me down the toliet.

i thought in the sewers there was a couple of guys, and a bunch of pipes, each labbeled with a families last name, and when 1 would fill up, they'd have to dump it in a landfill. never thought of how it gets there though.

im 13, and i still belive it, except now i think scientists are doing a study on the size of your poos, and if you need the plungr, u get an A+.

When I was about 4 my friend told me that if you didn't cover up your poo with toilet roll, it would all fly out again. Then my mum saw me filling the toilet with toilet roll, and told me it would blow up if I put too much in.

My roommate Amy has a cousin called "Little Terry", because his father is also named Terry.

Little Terry is fluent in Spanish, his mother being Cuban, and so he refers to poo as "cacuca" /kah-KOO-kah/, like a nickname.

He never did quite get the hang of sharing, and so early on, when he'd go to the bathroom, he'd cry, "I don't want to flush!" When his mother, Anita, would ask why, he'd whine, "That's _my_ cacuca! I don't want to flush it!", as if he might be allowed to _keep_ the stuff. :P

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 was on a routine babysitting adventure, when my cousin comes out of the bathroom claiming the toilet was mad at him, therefore I had to wipe him to make the toilet happy again. I did this continually until he was about five. My suprise when his older brother, whom is eleven, tells me that he just made up the whole thing because he didn't want to wipe himself/

as a kid, i told my brother that every time you flushed it costs 10 cents. this got him off the habit.

when my sister was little her goldfish was flushed down the drain. she loved it so much every time someone wasnt looking she would run to the bathroom and stick her hand in the toilet, and with all the kids in the house, none of them ever flushed the toilet, so every time we would catch her she would have crap all over her until all her close were stain with crap from the toilet

I believed that toilets were permenately in the ground, so naturally when my father removed our old toilet(to put in a new on) I thought he had to be the strongest man in the world (or out of this world?!)

When i was little i put my hand in the toilet because i was going to the bathroom for the first time...

I used to believe that there were little creatures that lived in the toilet and nibbled on your butt while you were taking a crap!

I used to think that if you pooped too much, the entire toilet would be filled and you'd be sitting on a pile of poop. I never thought that people would actually flush if it got "too full" to them.

obviously, putting a phone in the toilet would cause the other person to get wet. it was very tempting, but i feared the mother's wrath.

I used to beleive that the water under the lid of the toilet was where our pee and poop went. Once it got filled up a parent would dump it and we'd start over again.

When I was little my grandma would clean my butt after taking a poo.. till I was around 12!!

Memento

i used to think that a rest room was where u went when u were arrested because some would say theres arrestroom when its actually a rest room

When my sister was about four, and me and my cousin were seven and eight we thought my littlesister was a monster praying to her Gods when she was on the toilet, beacuse she was singing weird songs, and making weird sounds. Hehe, me and my cousin had a lot fun with that.

I used to think being transexual or gender neutral was a disability with male, female and disabled toilets!

As a child, I knew that people always washed their hands after using the bathroom. However, I thought they just did it periodically, because their hands were getting dirty during the day-- like the way you had to wash your hands before lunch. The only reason they did it after using the bathroom was that they were right next to the basin and it was handy.

So... I never used to wash my hands if I was in the bathroom before breakfast, because I didn't see how they could have got dirty if I'd only been awake a few hours.

I was ill a *lot* as a child.
