When I was about 6 I was very interested in death - my grandfather having died. Now, some people told me he went UP to heaven, and other people told me he went DOWN into the ground. It took me a while to figure it out - but I did. I just knew that he must have been cut in half in the middle, that his top half had Gladwrap around the bottom of it (to stop his insides falling out), then it was sent up to heaven, and the bottom half went into the coffin and then into the ground.
I still reckon it was good thinking.
