I used to believe that everyone died when they became 100 years old, so everyone would be really scared the day before their 100th birthday because they knew they were going to die the next day.

I saw 'gorillas in the mist' when i was just little, at then end when the lady dies it says something about it being a true story, i thought that the main actress had worn the real persons skin and pretended to be her, but i was confused because how could they be allowed to kill her again??

When my son was four a very loved neighbor passed away. I sat David down on the porch to tell him about Grampa Bob. I looked into his little face and told him but he did not understand. So I asked him if he remembered when his goldfish died? He got this terrible look on his face and asked me how Grampa Bob would fit down the toilet!

When I was 4 my sister told me that if, when passing a cemetary, you breath in the air, the dead people will come back alive as ghosts or zombies and try to kill me for breathing around them. Up until I was 12 did I hold my breath around cemetaries, even though I knew it wasn't true when I was 11, just to be sure.

When I was a kid, my mom used to take me to funerals. I always wanted to go with her to view the body so I could sneak in a touch to see if it was real. I used to beleive that funeral homes would make statues of the people and put them in caskets because they were so hard.

I once sucked the liquid out of a purple magic marker when I was about 4. When my sister saw my tongue she said, "Oh no! You're going to die!" A couple of minutes later my mother saw my tongue and immediately started scrubbing my tongue with a toothbrush. She too said, "You're going to die!" I didn't fully understand the concept of what death was, I said, "Oh, umm, okay."

I used to believe…

After seeing "All Dogs Go to Heaven", I was convinced that when dogs died, that's really where they went. As if they had their own special Doggy Heaven or something. I didn't stop believing that till I was about eleven. I'm fifteen now.
