A childhood belief about places

Until I was about 10 I beieved that people could actually dig to China, and I told my friend that if we dug in the sandbox far enough, we could get to China. Then he told me that if we dug to China,the chinese dug to here. But if we dug too far and took a wrong
turn underground, we would get to hell!
So everyday, if I saw an Asian man outside, i would compliment him about his digging skills, but if I saw a construction worker digging, or even someone in the sandbox, I would scream at the top of my lungs and cry and tell them to stop.I was to horrified to dig for the next 6 years!Then i found out that you cant dig to hell. you just burn in flaming hot magma burning your skin in a terrible abyss of pain and fire while screaming in terror while burning into an oblivion!!!What a relief...
