When I was little, I used to believe that whatever you were buried in or with after you died, is what you'd have in heaven. So when my grandfather died when I was 6, I started spouting off all this stuff we had to put in his casket, so he'd have it in heaven. The only good thing about this belief was that every time someone in my family died, I was sure to chear everyone up. It wasn't until I was 9 and my great grandmother died, that I realized you couldn't take anything with you to heaven.
