i used to believe everybody died once they turned 100

mis-spent youth

I used to think that when people died and went to heaven they met up with everybody else who had ever died, thus i believed that my late grandad was friends with dead celebrities such as john lennon and tommy cooper, and i figured my grandad had a sort of claim-to-fame because of this.

mis-spent youth

When my grandfather died, my father was trying to comfort my young brother by conveying to him in simple terms the idea of an eternal soul.
So he explained "It is only his body that has died."
For the following months, my poor brother believed in all seriousness that somewhere, our grandfather's disembodied head lived on.

When I was about 12 and my little cousin was 4, I told him that our grandma had died (meaning the grandma on his father's side). The only granda he new was his mother's mum, so he burst into tears, crying out: Grandma is dead!!!! I was well punished for scaring him! :S

When i was younger i used to think that RIP on a tombstone meant REALLY IMPORTANT PERSON. I thought that they were more important that VIP (VERY IMPORTANT PERSON.) I guess i didn't catch onto the fact that everyone had RIP on theirs.

I was born in the 70's, so you know those old 80's photographs where there was almost a shadow of just your face up in the corner, in addition to the full length shot of you over most of the paper. Well, my cousin told me that the shadow face was my twin sister who had died and I just didn't remember her. I CRIED and believed it until I asked my Mom about my twin sister, and she told me the truth.

As a child I used to believe that not so deep under the grave is just the underground cave when body lies, completly intact, and in regular suit, maybe a bit elegant and official. As I got learnt about coffins and the rest, I realized how "smart in other way" I was.

Ich bin ein Dummkopf

I used to believe the dead flew up to heaven.

Pierre, a French student in eighth grade

My friend once told me that when people die, their bodies are buried on the street as speed bumps. Every time I drove my bike over a street bump, I'd wonder who was buried there...

I used to believe that the movies used convicts in scenes where people died, especially in cowboy and indian type movies. I figured they were expendible because they were in prison and nobody cared about them. I learned later about stuntmen and blanks and special effects.

when i was little i used to think that since everyone said heaven was in the sky and hell was in the ground, when people were dead and burried they went to hell and the ones that werent burried went up to heaven.

You know how when it's sunny and blue skies but there are those white clouds in the sky? And it looks like there's a beam coming down from it? Well I used to believe that those beams were beaming someone who just recently died, up to heaven. I guess I still like to think that.

When I learned that poet Slyvia Plath had killed herself by sticking her head into her oven I used to wonder how she could have done it. It seemed such a painful, drawn-out way to die. Of course, that's because I thought it was an electric oven (the only kind I'd ever used) as opposed to a gas oven.

When I was little, I always lifted my feet off the floor of the car when we passed a graveyard. Someone had told me once if I didn't do this the souls of the dead would latch onto my feet and pull my soul out from my body. I did this up until I was 15 and I was learning to drive... I kept my feet on the pedals but I was sure tempted to lift them off.

when i was little i used to think that when a man came and tapped you on the shoulder it was your time. i thought that you couldent cheat death. now im 16 and i still believe you cannot cheat death.

When I was little, I heard my parents talk about SIDS where babies died. So I thought if you named a baby "Sid", he would die. I told a kid in my class named Sid that he should ask his parents to change his name because he could die any moment

when I was a little child, I used to believe that lifeinsurance made sure that if I died, a new me would come to live with my mum and dad. nice lifeinsurance, don't you think!?

When I was a kid I was always afraid of dying in a car accident. I noticed in movies and such that when people died, their eyes would close. So I thought that meant if I "died" with my eyes already closed, they would just open and I'd live. So whenever our car stopped short or slip on wet roads (etc.) I would clench my eyes shut thinking that would protect me. I didn't realize that was wrong until I saw a bad horror movie in which people died and their eyes actually stayed open.

my dad said to me once that if I swallowed toothpast one day I would die! I believed it till I was 12!!!
