When I was young, I never could understand how they could get the people pictured on the obituary pages to smile. After all, they were dead!
A childhood belief about people
others believed things like this
- I used to wonder when reading the obituary column how people always managed to die in alphabetical order.— diane
- I was told as a young child that if I didn't smile going past the police station, I wouldbe arrested.Anon
- I used to believe that a street sign that read "Dead End" meant that there were dead people buried there.Anon
- When I was very young, I assumed that false teeth were taken from dead people's teethAnon
- when i was young i thought god was a cloud, big white fluffy cloud floating around with 2 eyes and a smile. — kerrie
- When I was really young I used to think that dead bodies wouldn't start rotting until they were buried.— Katherine
