She'd do everything until the last thing left was to flush the toilet, which she'd then do, escaping promptly out of the bathroom. Something we always teased her about, right?<br/><br/>So fast foward to, uh, 1989 when she and I went travelling through France for a few weeks. We were visiting some cathedral or other, when she comes out white as a sheet. Turns out in France, they have (or used to have) some public bathroom stalls that are basically boxes with a hole in the floor. (Yes. Really.) So here she is, dealing gamely with this because after all, travelling is An Adventure, when it turns out these boxes flush automatically every ten minutes or something like that. So here she is, mid stoop, seeing the water coming down the walls -- she got out of there like a bat out of hell...<br/><br/>I laughed and laughed and laughed (hey, older sister privs), but truth to tell, that would have given me PTSD, too :-P On the matter of toilet-induced PTSD, I submit my sister, who always hated the sound of the toilet flushing.

It happened to her when she was 5 and it was one of those LOUD ones...when they first came out. It scared the crap out of her..figuratively. <br/><br/>She refused to use ANY toilet away from home again, even at school. She'd hold it ALLLLLL day, even pee! Bless her heart. My sister had to talk to the school counselor and everything about it. <br/><br/>And I hate it when it splashes my lady bits. If I'm gonna have a wet feeling down there, then I better get some kind of O out of it. I hate to tell you but my niece is the first documented case of toiled-induced PSTD.

There is a method to my madness you know! HAHAHAAAAA- OMG I have so been there and done that!

They like to "test" every function. It’s specially fun taking 2 little boys in to those rooms. They like to “test” every function.
