When I was a kid, my brother told me that is you pushed really hard behind your ear it would kill you. I never touched that and i washed it very carefully....
When I went to school I constantly believed what the other kids had told me.So far, as the hypochondiac I was,
I believed that:
If you ate shaving cream you'd die.
If you got three paper cuts you'd die.
The mirror ghost would kill me.
Any ghosts would kill me.
I'd have a heart attack from doing too much exercise.
My arteries would clot from eating cream
The other kids would really give in and twist my wrist off.
That's about all of the sad fears I can conjure up for now..Trust me there'll be more...
when there is a murder,on the news they always say "a body has been found..." for years i wondered why no one seemed to have a head when they died....

When I was little we used to live across the road from a graveyard, which was just over the hill from a river. I used to think that when the fog was rolling up, that was when the dead people were coming to get me.

My Uncle Paul died when I was seven years old, and my Grammie asked my older brother to be a pallbearer.
Grammie died shortly after Uncle Paul, and my mother again asked my older brother to be a pallbearer. Upon hearing this I immediately corrected her, "No Mommy - Donald was a pallbearer the LAST time, when Uncle Paul died. Don't you want him to be a Grammie-bearer THIS time?"
Despite the grief of their mother's death, I don't think that I have ever seem my mother and my aunt laugh so hard!
When I was 5 I learned how to ride my bike minus the training wheels. :) My best friend Abby lived at the top of a hill leading directly to my drive-way at the bottom of the hill. One day she and I decided to race to my house. As we got closer and closer to my driveway I peddled faster and faster in attempts to win, it was neck and neck. My mothers car was parked in the drive-way so Abby began to slow down, I however forgot how to stop! Next thing I know I am laying on the trunk of my mom's 1978 Cutlas. There I lay on the back of my mom's car screaming for help. My friend, turns her bike around and heads home at this time. My mom comes out and peels me off of the car and carries me inside. We get inside, and the phone rings, it is my friends mother calling to see what happened, when Abby got home she was in hystarics... My poor friend thought that I had died and ran home to tell her mom (a nurse) and her father (a doctor) that they needed to save me.

When I was little we all believed that if you fell into quicksand, you would be ok, until the mud reached your nose. Then you would suddenly die.
When i was quiet young i went to my grandmas funeral.I thought we had to go to a gravy yard,and there would be a bunch of gravy boats there.DUH @ME!
when i was about 7 I thought that the only way you could die was if somebody killed you or you had an accident or something. I thought that you would grow old and stay like that forever. When my mom actually told me how it was, I started screaming and throwing stuff. (i also couldn't sleep for days)
I was told that when you look at the stars, each star represents a living being anbd when you die your star dies..goes out, you only see your star when you about your star when you about to die

When I was little I used to believe that Funerals were supposed to be fun because they were FUN-erals. Come to find out it was not fun at all, it was sad. :-(

I used to believe that the purpose of a "wake" when someone died was one last attempt at trying to wake them up from the deep sleep that they were in. It confused me because at my grandfather's wake everyone spoke quietly, how would talking quietly wake them up? I just figured that he was a light sleeper, then again I was wrong!

I thought that when I got older "they" would invent a cure for death and I could live forever.
I used to believe that if people lived for a long time, they'd keep getting taller until they reached the ceiling of their house, and when they get that tall, they get all flat, then grow again, and die all in a few seconds. Then they'd become babies who looked a lot like who they once were.

When I was a kid I believed that everyone lived to 100, then died. Tidy mind...
when i was wery young and was attending a kindergarden someone told me that if i was pinched once i would live 1 year less. After that i was afraid of playing with other children in the sandbox and wanted them out of my comfort zone. Simply i did not wont to die at a young age.
I onece asked my nana why did my Aunt Sandi die? she said when people die they go to a place where all your pains go away. Then I said Can I still talk to them in my prayers. She said "yes taylor Yes."

I used to believe that pictures held some mystical spiritual power over the subject. Namely, if the picture was destroyed, so was the person. Something like that. Imagine my dismay when i accidentally spilled elmer's glue on a wallet sized portrait of my dad. When i tried to wipe it off, his face came with it. I cried because i thought that i just killed my dad. Very relieved when he came home from work that evening.
