I remember as a very small child going with my parents to see my dying grandfather, the bed was, in my memory, so very high, I thought he was like the princess and the pea and had to have hundreds of mattress'.....needless to say it was just because I was 'wee'!!!!

When I was about 5 years old one of those grocery store tabloids had a tv show. It was so close to how regular news was that in my little mind I thought everything they said was fact. Everything from bat babies to talking dogs. One night they said that there was a giant bomb somewhere in a cave in Africa that was set to go off in the year 2000. Needless to say I believed it (probably even more so since the had PICTURES...which looked like a giant clock). I cried and repented for weeks. I even planned out my life expecting to die at 14, since that's how old I would be.

I think my belief started to fade a bit when I was about 11, but after the ball dropped I still pinched myself to make sure I was still there.

When I was a kid I believed that everyone lived to 100, then died. Tidy mind...

My friend told me that her dad told her, once a few years ago that when small children shoot a gun that their heads pop off, or they go deaf. But, I know plenty little kids that have hunted with guns. I think he just doesn't want her near a gun....

We used to walk to gradeschool, even in bad weather. It was firmly believed, however, that if you wore galoshes and kept them on all day, you would DIE!

I used to believe that when people died, they would burp.

My grandpa died when i was four and my mom told me he died of cancer and i pictured dying of cancer as him sitting in a pot that you hang on the porch with flowers in it, on the ground in the middle of a field.

i used to believe that Oncologist's were Dr.'s you saw when you had terminal illness, then i grew up and found out what Oncologist's really do.

When I was a bit younger i believed that when people die, they get reborn... but everything they had in the last life is different then the new life... weird i know!

when i was about 5 or 6, my great grandma died. of course, i didn't understand, but i asked my mom where she went, and she told me that she flew to heaven on an air plane. i just lost a grandmother, and that is what i told my little brother, who is 3.

I used to believe that peoples souls looked exactly the same as the inside of a soap pump dispenser

I though when you died you would dream forever....

I used to believe dead people moved us around and made us do silly and stupid things.

When we were kids, my sister thought that when a person died, their soul was their set of ribs that sprouted wings and headed heavenward. lol

I used to believe that if you were going to die, a person dressed in white would come to your hospiotal bed and say these words that have always stayed in my head, "Tamova, ray, tamova, ray!"
I don't know what it means but I have believed that since I was two, I AM NOW 14! (I don't believe it now)

When I was little I thought that you could die inside, or you would bump your head when your spirit ascended. My mom wasn't sure what to tell me about this, since she thought I probably felt pretty safe inside.
