A childhood belief about general

Once my dad had made hot dogs and hamburgers for my siblings and myself for lunch. I didn't like hamburgers then and wanted a hot dog. But hot dogs always smell and look better than they taste, so when I got it I ended up not eating it. So to try and tempt me, my dad took a slice of American cheese and stuck it on there. After that, I picked off all of the cheese. My sister said it looked dead and my dad said I killed it and wanted to have a funeral. So my sister made up a coffin for my hot dog out of paper. We all collected in the back yard and buried the hot dog under a tree. Several years later I was convinced that if I dug it up, it would still be there.
