When I was younger, I went to my mom's friend's brother's funeral. I was really hungry, and my mom kept saying that we were going to leave soon. My grandmother kept telling me that my mom's friend's brother was going to heaven. So I stood in front of the coffin staring at the dead body for about 2 hours, until my mom came up to me and said, "UH, what are you doing?" and I responded, "I'm waiting for him to go to heaven!" I honestly thought that a ladder or staircase would come out of a mass of clouds, and the dead guy would get up and out of the coffin, wave to us then climb up to heaven.

I used to believe if someone died and were buried to deep they were stuck in the dirt yelling to be let out.
I used to believe that everyone lived for exactly 100 years, and that as soon as you blew out the candles on your 100th birthday cake you would die, surrounded by your family.

When I was six I found a giant mushroom covered with ants in my grandmas backyard. Being a curious child and never seeing one before I just had to touch it. Afterwards I went up to my aunt and asked her what that was and she replied, "Oh honey, don't touch that. It's a mushroom and it may be poisonus." So I ran up to my dad and started crying telling him I wanted to go home. I was afraid that since I touched it I was going to fall over dead at any given moment but I was too afraid to tell him that.

When i was very very young, not even in kindergarten yet, I had a favorite uncle who for what ever reason faked his own death, except that the whole family new it was faked. He showed up at his own wake with his dark grey hair bleached white where family members shook his hand and congratulated him.
For years after that i thought that when you died you changed your hair color and your family told everyone that came looking for you that you were gone.

Up until I was 5 I thought that every person on the planet would die on the same day. All, that is, except for one very tired old man who was left to the job of burying the bodies. When he finished he would plop down into the last grave and that would be it!

when i was little i beleived that when you died, your soul became a star, and you can choose where you want to be, how bright, and if you want to join a pattern or just bumble about. extra special people who shouldn't have died and were extra good in their lives became shooting stars.

When I was about 4 or 5, I had seen some pictures in a family album of my great uncle who had passed away before I was born. I asked my mother what happened to him and she told me that he had died, and he had been buried. Later on I was exploring in our back yard and I came across a short pole stuck in the ground, which I assumed was my uncle Harry's grave.

For some strange reason once when I got a cut, I was afraid that if I showered and the water touched my blood, I would die. I asked my mom about this, but she didn't seem to understand, so I drew a diagragm.

That god would fix people who were dead. I had no idea how long it took but I found out it wasnt true about 2 or 3 years after my grandpa's death after I asked when god was going to be done fixing him.

I saw in a magazines that was lying around the house, and it was talking about how any of us could die at anytime. And one of the lines read something like "You could die today at 1 o'clock" or something like that. But cause I was so young I took it literally. I actually believed that I was going to die at 1 o'clock that day.
I ran around all my family and friends bawling in my eyes out saying my "goodbyes" to everyone. People thought that there was something seriously wrong with my head. I'm 18 now and I still get teasted by my family about it.

I told my cousin's kid (5 years old) that if he made one of his eyes look into his other eye in the bathroom mirror that that night when he fell asleep he would die and go straight to hell and nothing could stop it. He tried it and got REALLY scared. He was up almost 2 days! ( I was about 26 when i did this but my cousin used to torture me when I was little so were even now)
