My co-worker's daughter had this belief.
Once, when 'Brenda' went on a trip with her dad, she informed her mother that the kitty was to remain indoors, or else, without Brenda to watch it, Kitty would get run over. Of course, while Brenda was away, the cat got out and was killed by a car. Brenda's mom told her that the kitty had seen the neighbor's dog playing in the road, and, before anyone could stop her, Kitty rushed outdoors to push the dog out of harm's way, thus dying a hero's death. Brenda was so awed she was speechless, and believed the story for years.

When I was a youngster I thoght the
"bottoms" of dead people were
buried. This I couldn't understand, and was relieved when I saw her whole body, not just her "bottom", in the casket when my grandmother died!

When I was little, I had a fish named Jerôme and when it died, my father put it in the toilet to flush it down. Somehow, he forgot to flush and my mom ended up peeing on it. O_o I thought for a long time that she did that to punish the fish for dying...

When I was young, I thought when you reached the age of 50, you had lived half of your life and had 50 more years to go. I'm now 46 and ...........

I used to believe that my parents and aunts and uncles visted the graves of their parents so frequently because they were old too, and going to join them there soon.

I used to believe,and till this day can't prove it,that the reason people die is because everyone is born to have only a certain amount of heartbeats and once you reach the amont you have,something happens,then you die....I think I was like 5 or 6 yrs old.

When I was very small I thought that people only died when they were very old and then in their sleep. I'd stay overnight at my grandmother's house in the bed where she and my grandfather used to sleep, and I used to lie awake all night imagining her waking up and trying to revive him (in the place where I lay, too). Only years later did I understand that my grandfather had been sick and died in a hospital (two years before I was born).

My grandmother once showed me a photo of a little girl in a photo album. She told me that this girl used to live next door, and that she was playing in her room one day. Her parents, who were downstairs, heard a thump from her room, and when they got there, she was dead on the floor. She had been playing with a plug socket, and had been electrocuted. This gave me the worst nightmares of my childhood.
I later found out that the girl in the photo was my Aunt, aged about 4. I have no idea why Nana told me this, it was completely unprovoked, and we hadn't been discussing anything to do with electricity etc when she told me...we had been having a great time looking at old pictures!!

When I was a kid, I used to believe when a actor/actoress die in a movie, they will really die and won't act in the next movie

I believed that when somebody is being killed in a movie, the director would find a man/woman who wants to die, pay their family some money and dress him/her as the person and kill them when they film.

this is not my own belief
When I was babysitting for a catholic family, their 4-year-old boy once strated talking about a rat in the garage. He said: "We had a big rat in the garage, and then Daddy shot the rat with his shotgun, and then the rat died and went up to Heaven." We (his older siblings and me) tried to convince him that rats can´t go to heaven, but he insisted on it. Finally he said: "OK, but cats and dogs always go to heaven, because they are good."

When I was little, I didn't know that cemataries were where dead people were buried. I used to think they were farms where people grew statues instead of trees or crops. When we drove though the country, I used to point them out to my mom, saying, "Look mommy! A statue farm!"

There also used to be graves behind the church we when too. They were covered in glittery white rocks. I used to sneak outside afterwards and pick the stones off of the graves so I could take them home because they were so pretty. I didn't realize there were dead people under the rocks.

I used to believe that if you walked directly over someone's grave, they would haunt you forever.
