water

When we learned about the whole water cycle thing in class (you know evaporation/precipitation etc) i got it all mixed up. I thought if I accidentally left a glass of water out, it would evaporate and rain. I always got mad at myself when it rained cuz I thought it was myself, and I would yell at everyone who left out cups of water. I never thought about the lakes/rivers lol. I hate science

When I was younger I used to be scared to go swimming at my cabin because the waves made the water look like jello and I thought I would be sucked in and trapped.

When I was younger, my brother told be that mud puddles were actually chocolate milk! I would drink the water by the cup fulls!

my dad would take me fishing at the coast and would tell me not to step in the foam that washed up on the shore because sailors used to pee over the side of ships and it would wash ashore

I believed that if I threw enough rocks in the frog pond behind our house, it would turn into a paved bottom pool. Hours and hours, tons of rocks later, it was still fit for ducks only.

i used to believe that there was a dropoff in the ocean and that if i walked to far out, i would fall down in it and never be found.

On one particular visit with my grandparents, when I was very young, I remember playing on the living room floor and finding a little piece of clear plastic that had apparently broken off of something. I was very excited, however, and ran into the kitchen where the adults were so I could show them the piece of "dry water" I had found. They kidded me about that for years...hey, it made sense at the time.

ever since i was a baby, we have owened a beach house, and up until i was 7 i used to believe that the waves would stop crashing on the shore at 7.00pm, when i went to bed.

To me it made perfect sense, I as a child got tired, so why wouldnt the ocean, get tired of churning up water???

When I was about 7 years old I had asked my mother why the water in water coolers was cold. She told me it was spring water, and spring water is cold naturally. As I grew up I found out it is because of a cooling compressor in the water cooler. But my Mom stills thinks she is right.

I used to believe that whenever i stood under a waterfall a tiger would swoop down and carry me off with it. Havent yet convinced myself it doesnt really happen :)

When I was young, I thought that the sea had a giant plug and that you could let out all the water. I was convinced I'd seen it on a nature programme

I used to think that oil drops on wet road were rainbows drops that have fallen to earth

I used to believe that you could walk on the swell that was left behind boats, being a coastguard ops assistant I doubt I'll try it now!

when i was like 10 or 12 i was so scared of the water because my babysitter pushed my off our dock. i wouldnt even go into a boat for fear that it would crash and i would drown and a monster or big fish would eat my remains!! (im 15)

I used to believe the rain drops that fell from my roof at night were shooting stars

I used to believe that the waves in the ocean were made from whales swimming by...

When i was little i would call Bread Lardlard, and, living on Lake Superior, where the waves are often rather large, i would see the rollers and think it looked "Lardlards" and i was afraid to go into the water because i didnt want the bread to smash into me. those were the days.....
