7	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 TruthInTelevision for anyone taking care of a small child or baby.

9	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.

11	Drug dealers will sometimes do this in the form of FlushTheEvidence. Commonly found in a ToiletTrainingPlot. If flushing items (or yourself) down a toilet really does send them to another location, see ToiletTeleportation.

13	For an extreme version, compare MegaMaelstrom.

15	Do not confuse with DownTheDrain, as it covers underwater sewer levels in VideoGames, though accessing such levels might require this trope.
