When I was about 5 years old I must have seen some documentary about the ancient Egyptians. I was horrified when I saw what they did to people when they mummified them. Somehow I thought this practice still went on today and became terrified. I was so worried that I used to pray to God everynight to ask him to stop anyone from mummifying me when I grew up.
