I know this post was about kids, but... "**Except when you are doing really good CPR on a dead person and they open their eyes and look at you - it's only happened twice with me and it freaked me out both times - especially as neither of them survived." Sure made me think twice about snide comments during CPR when it happened to me back in the 1980's. I was NEVER told that this could happen (although logically, it makes sense as their brain gets oxygen again, they could wake up). He didn't survive, either. Never could get a shockable rhythm back.
