I used to believe that when it was foggy outside, that meant that the clouds had lowered themselves to "human level". I thought this because I had remebered that when I was flying in a plane, and I looked out the window,and it looked like the fog and my parents said we were flying through the clouds, so I just assumed...:)
I used to believe that if I looked out of the window in the early hours of the morning when it was just getting light, I could see a big evil looking eye in the sky (it was obviously a cloud I'd once seen!) which was staring directly at me.
I vividly remember seeing it in the sky! This freaked me out for years...
I used to believe that the oddly-shaped clouds were made from oddly-shaped sheep
When it rained I thought it was raining all over the world.
when I was young I used to think that whatever shape you saw in the clouds was something that used to live and heaven formed its shape in the sky so people could remember.
I used to believe that whenever it rained, God was taking a shower.
When I was little, I thought that weather balloons actually made the weather the way it was. I thought that the weather men on television decided what the balloons would deliver us.
I used to believe that, when it rained in my city, it rained all over the world. It took me a couple years (of young childhood, like, before grade school) and of watching the weather channel on TV as punishment, lol) to figure out that it rained in different areas at different times. Of course, I rarely see someone that was as dumb as I was back in those days.
When the TV weatherman would list the current temperature and the windchill factor, I thought he said "windshield factory". I could never figure out why the weather would be different there and why anyone would care about it.
i used to beleve that the sun had thin long legs and followd me wherever i went..
When I was a little boy, probably around the age of 5-6 years, I used to believe that the northern light would come and eat me if I went out when it was visible.
When I was beetween the ages of like 9 and 12 I thought that if I jumped high enough (usually on my trampoline) I could convince Mother Nature to make it rain or become sunny. I thought that if I thought about it hard enough it would happen.
top belief!
I used to believe a blizzard was an animal that lived outside in the snow. My Mother would worry and say things like "I hope your Father gets home soon, there's a blizzard outside" or "you can't go outside because of the blizzard." I would look out from a window in hopes of seeing that little blizzard.
When I was small I sat on the front door step one day and thought about how rain happened. I decided that God must have a row of taps in Heaven, which he turned on and off at will, and was thoroughly satisfied with my theory.
I used to believe that when it rained, the people in heaven were all taking showers. I believed that they had showers made out of clouds, and that as they showered God would watch them making sure they didn't waste too much water. So rain drops were special, because they had touched the bodies of relatives who had already died.
I used to believe that if I could somehow get the window of the aeroplane open, I would be able to jump up and down on the clouds which I imagined would feel like cotton wool.
When my mom would tell my it was raining cats and dogs, I thought I would need to put all my cats and dogs in a cage so they would not fall from the sky!
I used to believe that cumulo nimbus clouds signaled an imminent invasion by UFO's, since in the movie EARTH VS. THE FLYING SAUCERS the camera looked skyward to see such clouds, which was immediately followed by said invasion.
My fear of tornados was heighted when I learned in elementary school that there was an "eye" of the tornados. It confirmed what I had feared, you couldn't sit next to windows because they would see you.
i used to think that the weather men were soldiers in big black hats and red suits (like the ones outside buckingham palace) and they used to climb up a big ladder and poke their haed in the clouds and tell the queen what the weather was like.
they always got it wrong and i wondered how safe the queen was
