I used to believe that when you died, your tongue would automatically stick out. Whenever I played dead, I would stick my tongue out. When I was 9, my brother told me I stupid after I "died" during a game of "cops and robbers."

When I was around 9 my neighbor, sister and I sat down to play on the Uijji Board. We all closed our eyes and did the whole ritual. We supposedly met a man named "Fernando" who died in a freak balooning accident. I got really scared and asked all these serious questions like, "Do you think we should ask him if we could bring him back?! but he might make us kill someone!." I was really terrified, I tried talking to Fernando all the time after that. I now know it was nothing more than an immature prank. *sigh*

I used to believe that if you stepped on someone's grave they would get very mad at you and wouldn't forgive me. So when we would visit my Dad's grave I would tiptoe around everyone else so that they wouldn't get mad and be mean to my dad. To this day I still apologize to the dead when i walk around graves.

When I was at school one day, in science class my friend dared me to eat an eraser, so I did. Then after that, everyone told me I was going to die and I believed that for 5 years!

When I was little, one time I was pulling the hairs on my brother's legs. He made me promise to stop, cross my heart and hope to die. So I did. Then I did it again. He said that since I crossed my heart and hoped to die and thenbroke the promise, I would die in my sleep that night!

I was so frightened that I would not go to bed that night. I cried so much and got so upset that my mother called the doctor. He said nothing was wrong with me.

Imagine my great relief when I woke up the next morning, and discovered that I was still alive!

When I was in 1st grade I had to stay after and wash the chalkboard. And as I was washing it I had a nickle in my mouth. Well I reached up to clean the high part of the board and swallowed the nickle and for the longest time I thought I was going to die.
