A snake stuck in the toilet

My grandparents lived in a mobil home in a trailer park on Harbor Blvd. when I was 5 years old. We were there for a visit one day and my parents and grandparents were in the front part and my younger sister and I were in our Aunt's bedroom playing with all of her chrome horses.

As we were playing we could hear the adults talking and my grandpa starts talking about how a snake got stuck in the toilet. That's all I heard and focused on 'snake caught in the toilet". After a while I had to pee and I made my sister watch the toilet bowl while I stratteled the bowl and peed. My only thought was that if I sat down that snake would rise up and bite me on the butt. I stratteled, I peed, she watched. This routine went on for years each time we went to visit my grandparents in their mobile home. Squat, watch, pee, flush, watch, quickly close seat. Repeated over and over for 2 little girls for years........

It was years later that I found out what a "snake" was and quickly go back in time to that time every time someone mentions having to use a snake.
