My belief was that heaven was on top of big white fluffy clouds, that men and women would be literally sat on these clouds dressed in ancient Greek style robes playing Connect Four. The first time I flew, I remember watching intently believing that we were going to see heaven, as we rose in the clouds, a little child screamed 'Polar Bear' waking my at times dippy mother who yelled look Becks a Polar Bear! At however many feet I intuitively realised that we couldn't see a Polar Bear on Earth but I was slightly bemused as to what has happed to Heaven.

I used to believe that dead people weren't put in coffins, they were just buried in the ground and at night the cemertry would be full of dead floating people scaring us away.
I used to hate going there in the daytime and at night!

When I was young I was told that my dad's friend Peter had died, and then a few days later someone brought over a baby called Peter, concequently this led me to believe that when someone died they turned back into a baby.

I used to beleive that to die you had eat a bag of KFC chicken wings and grab a fishes tail!! Put me off KFC for life!!

when i was little i was convinced i had an explanation to why nobody was ever actually dead and that no one died! i think it had to do with the fact the body was still there and didnt just disappear therefore they were still alive. if only i could remember my theory who knows i may have held the mystery of death and the afterlife in my hands and just thrown it away! (there again it could also have been the fact i was about 5 and my nan had died 2 years before and i was still trying to cope with that!!)

When I was just a little girl and I didnt have siblings yet, I had to play by myself alot of the time. To this day I still wonder why I even played this, but I would pretend that I was dead. And everytime I would die, i would lay down, legs and arms sprawled out, w/ my tounge out. I dont know why, but when I was a little kid, I thought that when you died, your tounge was out. Later I learned that this wasnt the truth and i felt totally stupid!

I used to believe that you had to have your eyes closed and your tongue sticking out for you to be dead!

one day when i was quite young i was helping my mum set up a party for work, you know, decorations, balloons etc. i tried blowing a balloon up, and because you have to stretch them to make it easier, i couldnt do it, so my mum blew it up half way for me. but me being me wanted to do it all myself now, so i let the air out.
"well that was a waste of breath" she said, but i took it literally and thought we only had a certain amount of air to breath and we'd all eventually die when it ran out because of people who wasted it on whistles and sneezing etc.
weird eh?

My grandmother, sane to this day, 90 years old and counting, told me as a child that my hand would wag above my grave if I hit my mother. To the best of my knowledge, I never in my life hit my mother anyway - before or after my grans advice.However, it made me terrified to pass a cemetery, ( I had to look the other way) in case of skeletal greetings!

I used to believe that the streams left behind jets were people going to heaven.

i used to believe everybody died once they turned 100

I used to think that when people died and went to heaven they met up with everybody else who had ever died, thus i believed that my late grandad was friends with dead celebrities such as john lennon and tommy cooper, and i figured my grandad had a sort of claim-to-fame because of this.

When I was about 12 and my little cousin was 4, I told him that our grandma had died (meaning the grandma on his father's side). The only granda he new was his mother's mum, so he burst into tears, crying out: Grandma is dead!!!! I was well punished for scaring him! :S
