Only time I can recall where I could have died was when i was 6-8 or maybe a bit older when I nearly drowned with my Sister and her friend at the beach. It's all a bit fuzzy but I'd probably have said something like "I won't live without you","Are we going to die?" or "We won't die here". We were all crying and I don't think my parents noticed we were in danger until we got back to shore, though it wouldn't be a surprise if they thought we were playing a game or thought we were in no real danger, and just being overly dramatic. What I do definitely remember was us swimming to shore for about 10,20 or 30 minutes and getting no closer, so we must have been caught in some kind of current.
