▲Babies are naturally curious about a lot of things, and at some point or another, they'll want to know about the toilet. However, they won't really know what it does -- at least not at first. They find more enjoyment in flushing stuff down the toilet, no doubt losing some of your precious possessions if it's within reach of the baby -- or perhaps clogging it up and overflow... or both! This is [[Truth in Television]] for anyone taking care of a small child or baby.
However, several other scenarios can also happen from this as well, say, for example, a character decides to pull a plug in the earth, draining the ocean and turning it into a whirlpool. Other times, it may lead to strange worlds after getting sucked in.
Do not confuse with [[Down the Drain]], as it covers underwater sewer levels in [[Video Games]]. Nor is it to be confused with entertaining things to do with a [[w:Flushing, Queens|certain neighborhood of Queens, NY]].
