When I was young I was told that my dad's friend Peter had died, and then a few days later someone brought over a baby called Peter, concequently this led me to believe that when someone died they turned back into a baby.
A childhood belief about people

others believed things like this
- I thought that when you died, you had 2 weeks to be dead then you would magically wake up again, but as a babyAnon
- I used to believe the saying "thanks be to God" went "thanks, Peter God" - as if Peter was his first name :-)— Foz
