people

For reasons that escape me and in spite of the evidence all about me, I was convinced for many a year that people died on their birthdays.

Oddly, I never feared my own. Probably because I thought only old people died.

I thought that my best friend (who is about a year older than me) would automatically die 1 year before me. Basically I thought everyone died at the same age on their birthdays.

I used believe in Santa Claus, bunny, ghost in cemitery and in my home, because I used to hear voices.

When I was young my friends and I used to believe that there were dead people in a house that was in our school, and we never went closer to the house...

When I was little I used to believe if I'm more than 50ft away from other people I will die. I actually believed that until I was in second grade

i was 5 when my folks brought me to my first funeral. we went to the wake the night before as well. i thought they called it an "awake" which i thought was pretty rude considering the person was dead and couldnt wake up.

Around the age of 5, for no reason I have ever been able to figure out, I believed that mannequins were corpses. When you died, you got turned into a mannequin. Then a pet died and was buried, and I learned the basics of natural decay.

When i was younger i told my mom that i wanted to die in my sleep because if i died while i was just walking down the street it would hurt when i fell to the ground. ha.

i still wanna die in my sleep

Never point at a grave, if you do your finger will rot off.

When I was about 5 or 6 I used to think that the flower holders on the graves were breathing holes. I didn't realise that when you died, you didn't breathe anymore!

when i was young my father laughed and told me that my grandfather died while he was sitting in a chair and farting - and he died because the smell.

when i was around 6 or 7 my grandad died, he was quite the drinker so when my mum told me that he had gone to a better place, i replied "hes gone to the pub?"

Before I knew about death, I used to believe that people grew up, got old, and then grew down again and got young, so that people were just in a constant state of flux.

I used to think it would be impossible to shoot yourself, because you'd be dead before you could pull the trigger.
