My brother and I thought that you burped before you died, so whenever we played dead we'd let out a huge belch and drop to the ground.

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 when people died, they turned into stones. The reason for this is because I saw at the graveyards, people had their gravestones on their graves... sad but true.

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.

When I was little I used to beleive that the food you ate always stayed in your stomach. And eventually you died because the food kept piling up until you choked on it and died.

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.

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.

When I was in the 4th grade I read a book about spontanious human combustion and I was terrified that if I was ever alone that I would catch on fire and disappear before anyone knew what happened to me. I would scream if i had to bathe by myself(like i would catch on fire in water?)
