NEVER TAKE A CHILD TO THE MOVIES

Ms Decino has been scared of using toilets since the age of four when she saw a talking toilet in 1990s Hollywood film Look Who’s Talking Too. In the film the character, The Toilet Man, screams he wants the child’s urine while posing with big eyes, sharp fangs and a creepy voice which has stuck in Ney’s head ever since.

Hey, if you hate toilets that much, pi$$ on 'em.

Key phrase: "She has watched the film dozens of times."

No wonder she looks a little flush(ed) in the pictures.

That's silly. Only gas station toilets are like that.

My son was terrified by an automatic flush toilet when he was potty training, and wouldn't use that kind for two or three years. I finally convinced him that if I stood there and held my hand over the sensor while he did his business, it wouldn't flush. Awkward but effective.

An anthromorphic toilet screams for children's urine to consume. And people accuse Japan of being weird-creepy.

Two Scientologists starred in that movie, what a coincidence.

Begin not-so-funny (sorry):

I haven't admitted this to many people, but I had that exact same phobia in my childhood, although I didn't have nearly as bad an experience as this poor thing. When I around 2, my 10 year old sister has the daunting responsibility of watching me in the bathtub. She already hated me for being the baby, and she used to sing,

Alice, where are you going?
Upstairs to take a bath.
Alice with legs like toothpicks
And a neck like a giraffe.

Alice in the bathtub.
Alice pulled the plug.
Oh my goodness, oh my soul,
There goes Alice down the hole.

And then she would gleefully say, "GLUB, GLUB, GLUB!

I still don't like to take a bath and never touch the drain in the shower. If a toilet overflows I run as if all the demons from hell are after me.

Moral: Be very careful what you sing to your children or grandbabies. You never know how much will stick.

Oddly enough, she has no memory of this. But I sure as hell do.

Sorry -- back to comedy.
