I once sucked the liquid out of a purple magic marker when I was about 4. When my sister saw my tongue she said, "Oh no! You're going to die!" A couple of minutes later my mother saw my tongue and immediately started scrubbing my tongue with a toothbrush. She too said, "You're going to die!" I didn't fully understand the concept of what death was, I said, "Oh, umm, okay."

I used to hold my breath every time a stranger passed me on the streets because I thought that if they had cancer and I breathed in their air, I would get cancer too...and I would hold my breath as long as I could in old people's houses, because I thought the weird smell was death, and I would breath it in and die sooner.

At the split second you die, you actually get transported to a parallel universe where you witness your survival.

I used to believe that the people who were laying in coffins underground weren't really dead. That they were just laying there, staring up into the darkness of the coffin. Then I'd think "well, what do they do when they're bored?"

I used to believe that, because my mom told me never to put a plastic bag over my head, that if I did I would die instantly.

I thought that when we died, we would already be laying neatly and calmly in our caskets, surrounded by friends and family who would sadly say goodbye and then we'd die and be buried.

When I was about six years old, I asked my father where people go when they die, and he told me, "Star Trek". I believed this for at least a year.

My sister told me that if I died any other way than a gunshot, I'd go straight to heaven. But if I died from being shot, I'd have to wait for a month before I could go to heaven. I was so scared I'd get shot - I really didn't want to have to wait, and I could imagine being in the ground in intense pain, looking out through nmy coffin at the still living people, waiting for my month to be over.

I used to think that when people died they didn't really die they just left home and travelled around the world until they found another family they liked and settled down with them. I was quite insulted that no dead people decided to live with us!

After I learned to ride my bike I rode it all over the neiborhood. Unfortunetly my bike was not very good and the chain would often fall off. One day while riding down the street, my chain fell off. I was terrified because there was a car coming. I knew I was about to die. I closed my eyes and braced for impact. When I opened my eyes again the car was gone. I knew I had just died. I sat on the curb and started to cry. Finally one of my brothers started yelling for me to come home. I slowly walked home, wondering what they would say when they saw I was dead. When I got home, my brother asked why I was crying. I told him all about my death. He laughed at me, called me stupid and probably won't let me forget it until I actually do die.

When I was little, my grandpa dies and the doctor said "We lost him." I thought he meant that they couldn't find him and my family was crying, but I wasn't.

I used to believe that people can only faint once and if they fainted again, they'd actually die. So when i was about 8, my sister fainted on a car workshop because of sunstroke and i couldn't stop crying because i thought she was going to die the next time she fainted. When she woke up, i told her that "i'd take care of you so you won't die", she asked me what i meant and i told her. She laughed at me that she even forgotten about the heat and told me the real thing. I was in shock after she told me.

When my mother first explained murder to me I didn't understand.
I already knew what to kill something meant, but when I asked my mother what the word "murder" meant she used the term "To take someone's life,"
I instantly thought that meant that murderers would kill people, take the insides out of their bodies, put their skin on like clothes and pretend to be them. Thus "taking" someone's life.
I was a little cautious around some people after that just in case they had been "murdered".

When my great grandfather died I was about 4 or 5. My family never attened curch before so I didn't exactly know how to pray. So I am told I 'taguht' my younger cousins how to pray. I had told them to put thier hands together and spin around in circles and speak loudly. We had done this right in front of his coffin. I really didn't know what death was at the time. I thought he was asleep and we were trying to wake him up. I feel really bad about that now.
