I used to really believe that if I put a note inside a helium ballon for God/my uncle who died before I was born, then it really would reach them. I spent ages trying to figure out what I should say to them but at the end I couldn't get my hands on a helium balloon and I was too shy to tell anyone.
A childhood belief about people

- Turtles can fly. I believed it for ages.
My turtle got lost or probably died and I was told it flew away.Anon - When my favorite Uncle died, I thought if I stared at him in his coffin he would open his eyes and be alive.— Cindy
