thunder and lightning

When I was little, my parents told me that if I walked around barefoot during a storm I would get struck by lightning. I still make sure I always have somthing on my feet when there's a storm, just in case.

I used to believe that thunder was the angels bowling, so I assumed a few other things, too. Lightning was either them having disco bowling, or somebody was dropping lightbulbs on the ground. And of course, all that bowling made them thirsty, so they had to have water! Rain was them dropping their drinks, and hail and snow was the ice in the water! Tornados were fans turned on, too.

Lightening means Allah takes photes of me.

When I was young,during a thunderstorm I used to think that God was going to work with his briefcase and that is why I thought that thunder sounded like that

I used to think I would die if I saw lightning or looked at It because I thought that it would pull me outside and hurt me

When I was small I thought that when it rained it was because God was crying because someone had dyed. Whenever it rained I thought to myself 'I wonder who dyed today'. How stupid was I!

when I was younger and it was storming at night, I thought that I did something terribly wrong during daytime and made GOD or Mother Nature real angry at me. I would lie in bed covering up/hiding from the lightning and thunder and pull all my stuffed animals around me so they could ''protect'' me! Sometimes I even hid under my bed and would sleep there! I even apologized to GOD and Mother Nature and begged for forgiveness repeatedly until either the storm stopped or I fell asleep first! OH BOY! was I ever an idiot!

I thought thunder was a cloud falling down on the roof.

When I was a kid I thought that when there was a thunderstorm the angels were playing a game of Family Feud in two teams of four up in heaven. God was hosting that game. I thought that whenever a contestant gave an answer that was not on the board and was a strike was when a lightning strike actually happened. I also assumed that the sound of thunder was the sound of the audience either booing to for an answer that was a strike or cheering for the family for winning the round. Rain came from the tears from the family of angels who were beaten.

My Grandfather used to tell me that when it thundered the angels in Heaven had knocked over their potatoe barrels and spilled out all the potatoes, and I always thought that that must be one humongous, gigantic barrel and a bunch of clumsy angels.

I used to be terrified of thunderstorms when I was a child. Then one night one of my moms good friends came over to babysit. There are one heckuva thunderstorm. She noticed I was scared and told me that thunder was angels clapping and lighting was God shining his flash light. It worked; I was never again afraid of a t-storm.

I used to believe (thanks to my mum!) that when it began to thunder, it meant that the angels in heaven were dragging around their furniture. I would always have a mental image of a bunch of angel pushing around a dining table because they wanted to rearrange their dining room!

When i was about 4 to 5, i used to believe that when there was a thunder storm that dinosours would come outside, so i hid under a table and started crying until it was over.

When I was little, I somehow thougth that the sky had a solid ceiling. Anyway, I also thought that thunder was the sound of the sky ceiling falling closer to ground and that lightning was the sparks of the sky ceiling grinding ever closer to earth. For this reason, I was screaming my head off in panic whenever there was a thunderstorm because I thought that eventually the sky ceiling would fall right down to the ground and crush us all to death.
