Perhaps it’s the spinning roll of TP or the swirling water — we’re not sure why exactly, but what we do know is that all kids seem to be strangely attracted to the bathroom. Need proof? Check out these MomMoments stories.

Royal Flush. I was working in the kitchen on dinner when I heard my 3 year old giggling. I couldn’t see her, but I could definitely hear her just shrieking with laughter. I began looking through the house to find out what my daughter thought was so amusing. I finally found her in the bathroom. She had taken her clothes off and was standing naked inside the toilet! And what was causing the giggling? She kept flushing the toilet and thought the water whirling around her feet was hilarious. – West Jordan, UT

Taste Test. Ever since my daughter started crawling she loves to head straight for the bathroom whenever I’m not looking. I shut the bathroom door, but we’re in an older house and she quickly learned that if she stood up and leaned hard on the door it would come open. Well one day when my daughter was about 11 months old, I was working on some laundry and noticed that she wasn’t playing in the living room anymore. I headed straight for the bathroom. When I got there I was horrified to see my daughter standing over the toilet sticking her finger into the water and then licking it! I wanted to puke… I was sure she was going to get some horrible disease, but so far she’s been fine. – Onancock, VA

Doggy Bowl. My daughter was going through this stage where she would mimic everything she saw the dog doing. We were having a lot of fun with it as we’d throw the ball for her to “fetch” and such, but one day it really got out of hand. I found her in the bathroom lapping water out of the toilet bowl with her tongue — earlier that day she’d seen the dog drinking from the toilet. – Salt Lake City, UT

Paper Trail. Ever since he’d first seen me use it, my son was fascinated with that spinning roll of paper in the bathroom. We had to keep a close eye on him or he’d dash to the bathroom and start spinning. One day I got to him too late and he’d unrolled the entire roll of toilet paper all over the bathroom. – Lethbridge, Alberta
