My cousins and I came to the conclusion at our eldest aunts open casket wake that since she was dead the watch she was wearing must be dead too. We used to believe that your watch would stop if you died. That kind of made me not want to wear a watch anymore, but hahaha I won't take mine off now.
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
- when i was young i used to believe a wake was when you waited for the dead person to wake upAnon
- I used to believe that when there was a tornado watch, you were supposed to sit down and watch the tornado.— Kay
- I used to believe that a wake was something you go to to try to bring the dead person back to life.Anon
- I used to believe that I couldn't pass by the cemetery at night because the dead people would wake up.— Marcos Carvalho
- I used to believe that a street sign that read "Dead End" meant that there were dead people buried there.Anon
