When I was 5 I threw a screeming fit on the interstate in the back seat of our car. I wanted my mother to pull over immediately because I saw a billboard sign that said "Jim's Body Shop". When she asked why I wanted to go to the body shop, I answered, "Because I want to see the dead bodies."

When I was 3 I thought grown-ups were lying to us about going to heaven. I finally asked my pre-school teacher, "If we are supposed to go to heaven when we die, why do they put us in the ground with the devil?"

When I was 5 I was really into Bruce Lee. I asked my dad how he died as clear the man was invicable. My Dad said that Bruce Lee was at a ceremony to meet the Queen and saluted, knocking himself on the forehead and killing himself outright. Needless to say, martial arts was obviously a dangerous skill to have. Not long after, I saw the Queen on TV laughing. I thought she was heartless, didn't she realise the part she'd played in the death of Bruce Lee?!?!

This isn't mine.
My dad died about 10 years ago when my sister and I were in our teens, but we still have lots of pictures and my 3 year old niece knows that the man in the pictures is Grandad Phil who Lives in Heaven. Her cat got run over a couple of months ago and my sister told my niece that cat had gone to heaven and we found her screaming at pictures of Dad because "Grandad Phil had stolen Tiglet". The when we went to Ireland for a family wedding she asked if we were goign to heaven because "Heaven is a long, long, long way away." So if you're three all dead people live in Ireland and if your cats play on the road the Dead steal them.

I once owned a black bunny rabbit. It was A hot July afternoon and I decided that the bunny shouldn't be kept in the corner of the porch for shade since the corner was filled with spider webs. I set my bunny in the sun...and forgot about it.

I was so sad when I realized that the bunny had died of dehydration and I considered myself a murderer until i was about 6.

I used to believe that if you cut off the circulation of a body part, then that body part would become white until it became totally invisible. So my concept for someone passing away was that all their blood was gone and all their skinned became invisible. Also known as a ghost.

i overheard my parents/sisters talking about my grandfather's death and the dangers of popping zits on your nose around the same time. for years after that, i believed that my grandfather had actually died from popping a zit on his nose!

I used to believe…

When I was little I used to believe that everone died at the same time. I thought God would pick a day when everyone all over the world (which at the time consisted of 4 or 5 people) would lie down on the pavement and they would be gone. There was no dying, only death- it just was. All I knew was that no one would be left behind.
