My Grandad died when I was three, but my Nan used to tell me he was going to come back one day, so I used to write letters to God asking him to bring him back sooner cos I missed him.

When I was a little kid I used to think that when people died they'd stop still where they were like they were frozen and they'd stick their tongues out of the corner of their mouth! To this day I get freaked out if I see someone sticking their tongue out of the corner of their mouth!! lol :)

I used to believe that (on tv and therefore in real life) if shot or attacked, a person was only dead if they lay face-up in a spread eagle pose, and that lying in any other position meant they were just injured.

I used to believe that there was a small man living inside your chest and he had a stick and he would beat the inside of your chest. When he got tired after many years he would stop, and you would die because your heart had stopped. I remember this because the adults were discussing the death of someone, and they said that he had chest pains, and his heart stopped, and he died.

I used to think that everyone in the world lived for exactly the same amount of time, 100 years, and then just dropped dead on their one hundredth birthday.

I was four when my grandmother died. My mom explained to me what death was and that grandma would not be coming back. So when someone asked about what happened to my grandmother not too long afterwards I explained to them that she was in prison, because I didn't understand that someone could go anywhere else for a long time and not come back.

I used to believe,after my uncle died, that if i wrote him a letter and put it under my pillow, he could read it maybe.

My grandma died when I was young. I used to believe that on days when the clouds were really puffly and the skies really blue, if I looked hard enough, I could see my Grandma watching me. All the angles could peek over the puffy clouds and see everyone on earth.

My granpa dies when i was five, and he was like, a gun collector or something and a Christian. So when they put him in his coffin I could see his gun. When they put him in the gorund iand said, "As Arnold moves into the holy place," I was like, "Oh. That MUST mean he's taking a trip. And the gun MUST protect him. I thought from then on they were taking a trip to the center of the earth.
