Being a Chrisitan since age 6 weeks (when I was baptised Chatolic but am now Lutheran) I though it was impossible for people to die on Christmas because It was Jesus' Birhtday and He would'nt allow it. Then I learned that Christmas wasn't Jesus' real Birthday and that people can die on December 24 and the 25.

my brother can count to a hundred.
if you ask him, he will. and when he reaches 99, he stops for a moment and says, "at 100 you die"

clearly he's associating counting with age.

I remember I started wondering how old my mom was when I was about 6. I asked her a few times, but she never would tell me, and would always end up to changing the subject. Then one day she answered and said she was 32. I was dumbfounded and disheartened. In that instant I believed my mother was very old, and did not have much longer to live. I spent the next sleepless week following my mom around, staring at her while she slept in bed to make sure she was still breathing, panicking when I heard her coughing from a cold that she had, and pounding on the bathroom door when I thought she was too quite in there. Honestly, it took me a good week to get over that one.

My little brother believed that cemetaries had streets in them so that the dead people would have a place to park their cars.

When I was like 7, my dad made me start using mouthwash. Upon inspecting it, I stumbled across the part of the label reading "if more than used is swallowed, contact your local poison center immediately."

This frightened me beyond all reason, and the first time I used it, I tried so desperately not to let any of it seep down my throat. But of course, I ended up swallowing a tiny bit, and spent the whole night crying and reflecting on my short life. How surprised I was when I woke up the next morning just fine and dandy.

Used to believe that my family members went to a different country, instead of acknowledging they had passed.

Well thank the parents for that one

When I was a kid, I use to believe, that groan people would die before kids.

i used to believe that when you die your body would morph into another person and that is how people were made i didnt realise about how women give birth until i was 7!!! my friend told me that you didnt get to choose who you morphed into so i was worried that i would turn into an ugly, grumpy old man but excited because i thought i might turn into someone famous or a cartoon character!

I used to believe that the R.I.P on graves meant that was the persons name 'rip', i always wondered why all the rip's seemed to be dying!

When the Queen Mother died when I was quite upset because I thought royalty did not die.

One year when I was about 10 I went to my dance recital, and there was one of those posters with the alphabet on it with morbid-yet-poetic sayings for each word. For a long time after that, I didn't want to take a bath because I thought that the dead people from that poster were going to come and kill me.

When I was really little my parents made me go to a funeral and touch the body. I asked why it was so hard and cold and I was told that it was really wood that had been in the freezer because right after someone dies they go to heaven and then someone has to recreate the body. When I asked why some people did not have bodies to touch they said they did not have a good picture to redo them!

When i was younger i used to think that when a person died they were thrown into the rubbish bin

My Grandmother died at our home when I was 9, I believed her ghost would rush out at me unless I ran really fast past her bedroom at night afterwards.
I was really glad when we moved house because her ghost would not be able to come with me to the new house.
