When my mother first explained murder to me I didn't understand.
I already knew what to kill something meant, but when I asked my mother what the word "murder" meant she used the term "To take someone's life,"
I instantly thought that meant that murderers would kill people, take the insides out of their bodies, put their skin on like clothes and pretend to be them. Thus "taking" someone's life.
I was a little cautious around some people after that just in case they had been "murdered".
A childhood belief about people

- I used to think that "cross-eyed" meant that people had X's for eyes, like dead people in cartoons.— Tim
- When I was a kid I thought rape just meant someone tearing the clothes off of a woman's body.— Matt
- I used to believe that when people talked about 4x4 trucks, I thought it meant all the wheels turned.
