people

I use to think that dead people were really dead if worms and a little creep thing crawled on them and they don't say ahhhhhh!

When I was little, I overheard my mother and grandmother talking about my great grandmother who was dying of cancer and was jaundiced and I remember them talking about how yellow her skin was. From then on, I thought that if you colored your skin with a yellow highlighter or marker, you would get cancer and die. I still get a little freaked out if I get some on my hand. Kids associate the wierdest things.

I used to think that every one in the world was in a big-big-big room and you would tell your story and say like all the little details like i bought this and i stole that and the i thought that at the end, when you die it would be manditory to say "The End"

When I was little I went to my Aunts house for a visit. She had a set of steps paved with smooth tiles that led to the basement. As she led me down the steps she told me to be careful because the steps were a little slippery and you could fall and hurt yourself or even die. I started to look around everywhere and then asked her where all the dead people were. The best part was her answer: "You don't just leave them lying around like that!"

I would ask why the people in the movie were just laying there, eyes wide, but not blinking, and they were really heavy and hard for other people to move, and they wouldn't talk either...

When i was little my mom told me that when people died they turned to dust. So when i played under the bed and saw dust i thought it was dead people.

when i was younger my dad told me that if you walked over a grave the dead body would reach out and grab your leg and drag you down into 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 whenever a church bell rang, someone had died.
