I remember going to a good deal of funerals when I was little, and knew clear and well that the people in these 'big shiny boxes with pretty blankets'- were not going to get up and make people stop crying, no one in my family explained 'death' to me, so I basically had to teach myself.
Cruel as it sounds I never cared about the body that was in the boxes I always wonder what came out of them, you see I had my own little concept of 'soul and spirit' but since I was a child I never knew what each was (in a specific sense), but I did know there was something, and that the body wasn't important at that time.
When I was 12 my brother died and I never cried at his funeral, I still had/have that belief that it wasn't him in the coffin he was/is somewhere else- a good place. ^_^
i miss him a lot
when i was young i used to think that people who died in movies wanted to die in real life.
When I was in sunday school, and we learned about heaven I didn't believe in it. I was skeptic, so I told my friend to kill me, so when I died, God would say, "You were meant to die 100 years from now! Let's go back!"
But while I sat in the box waiting to suffocate the sunday school teacher saw what we were up to. Rats. Still skeptic up to this day.
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"
Everyone died on their 100th birthday.
I used to believe that if you died and and was buried you would suffocate to death.
What?
Oh come on, I was only 3! Your telling me you were the sharpest knife in the drawer at that age?
When i used to go to my grandads place he used to tell me that if i wasn't a good boy the coockie monster from sesame street would come and kill me with a poisinus booga during the night
i used too think that when you died you went too heaven-and heaven was the sky and every cloud was a house for a dead person and when it rained god was happy raining god is crying etc etc.I also believed that you had too have flying lessons before you went too heaven because you needed too fly too be in heaven and if you failed the test you went too hell and hell is were the devil chops of your head.ouch.
My grandma told me that when people I knew died they went and lived behind the tall trees in our garden. "They're watching you."
I thought I was going to die when I was 4 - I had been on a preschool excursion and in those days they put your name and used a pin to attach it to your clothes... well my name came off so I put the pin in my mouth for safe keeping - promptly swallowed the pin by accident and was sure I was going to die - I cried and cried, at bed time mum finally coaxed out of me why I was crying "I'm *sob* going to die! *sob*" and she started laughing! man was I p-d off - did this woman not care? when I finally managed to tell her about the pin and she assured me that no I wasnt going to die.
That was a very traumatic day.
i used to believe that in your family the oldest person would die first and the yougest person would die last
My dad used to tell me that if I got the chills down my spine, then someone was walking on my grave.
I used to believe that a when a person died their body floated up to heaven, when everyone else was asleep.
When i was younger, i used to think my parents live forever
That forked lightning was gods way of tellinbg my great uncle mort to shut up - it struck and killed him at the age of 81
I believed that I died at the age of five. I was teasing my 3-year-old sister about something on Sesame Street and she got mad and killed me with a poker by the fire place. I believed that all the people in that reality mourned my death. And I just went on thinking that I was alive. I though that it happened like this for everyone all of the time.
When i was about 4 my gran's neighbour died. Iwas told that the angels had taken him. I imagined the angels arriving to take him away in their car!
When I was little i thought the water would save you if you were dying!
As a child I used to believe that not so deep under the grave is just the underground cave when body lies, completly intact, and in regular suit, maybe a bit elegant and official. As I got learnt about coffins and the rest, I realized how "smart in other way" I was.
I used to beleive that to die you had eat a bag of KFC chicken wings and grab a fishes tail!! Put me off KFC for life!!
