For some reason, I figured that whenever Jesus had business down on Earth, and why he would I don't know, in my head he just did, that he came down to our planet in a flying saucer. I also thought dead people were picked up by angels, and that's why we all lowered our heads down at funerals, because it would be too creepy to see a flying coffin. I guess it's more ridiculous than funny. >_> Also once when I was really young, I was walking with my mom somewhere, and she was holding my hand. It was REALLY hot out, and then she said something like, "monmmy's going to melt" as an expression of it being so hot, but I thought she was serious and was really going to melt. >_>
