My uncle convinced me that the morning fog looming over in the smokey mountains was caused by thousands of beavers making steaming cups of coffee.
When it rained I used to think that God was crying so I told everyone I saw to be good to make make God happy again. Then when it got sunny I knew that it had worked. I was only about 4 at the time.
When I was little I would watch all of the American television shows and movies. Because of this I was under the impression that it is supposed to snow on Christmas. I would often pray for it to snow on Christmas.
Every Christmas I would go outside and there would be no snow.
It took me until I was about 7 to figure out that it doesnt snow In Australia.
One day, I was reading a juvenile novel, and the hero passed through a cloud. To his confusion, and mine, it wasn't a pleasant experience: the cloud didn't hold him, nor was it like fluffy cotton candy. Instead, he passed right through the cloud, which was full of water == all wet and rainy! yuck! I was very disappointed after realizing that I could never sit on a "soft fluffy cloud," and wished I would have never learned the truth!!
My boyfriend used to think that it couldn't be windy unless it was cloudy- because of all the kids books where the clouds have little faces and are blowing leaves off trees etc.!
the scientific mind i was ...the rain falling in drops got me thinking. i figured out the solution though..gods must have a sheet with holes laid, over which they poured water in buckets...ths the rain for you.
When I was younger I believed that the weatherman actually decided what the weather was going to be. I couldn't understand why he didn't make it sunny all day and then rain all night!
I used to believe that it rained when God was upset and that all the birds lived together in one big house.

Watching the weather forecast on television, I used to believe that Min and Max were the names of the weatherpeople and that they would each have a guess as to how many degrees it would be the next day. I could never understand why Max's guess was always higher than Min's and decided it was because he was a boy and had to outdo her every time.
once my sister told me that for ever sweet wrapper or any kind of litter i dropped on the floor, a third world country would get that little bit hotter.
i felt so guilty and got stressed when my friends dropped litter.
god knows what posessed my sister to tell me this.
When I was little, I used to believe that God had a laboratory in heaven where he controlled the weather. He would concoct different potions that would make different types of weather--rain, snow, sun, wind, etc.--and he would just pour them onto earth, and that was how weather was created. I used to believe he spent all day in the lab just creating weather.
I believed that if the clouds stopped moving we would all fall off the earth. I used to lay on my bunkbed watching to make sure they were still going past and imagining how much it would hurt if I fell onto my ceiling.....
When I was little, when I see clouds on the sky go in front of the sun and block the sunshine, I used to think thr sun has to give sunshine to some other countries so not only my country gets all the sunshine. When the clouds move and the sunshine comes back, I thought the sun had gone around the world giving every country some sunshines. I stopped thinking this when I learned about time differences in Geography.
My older brother told me that when it rains, god was peeing on the earth
When I was young, I believed that the dark clouds brought the nighttime darkness. I would run in on a cloudy day, and say, is it time to go to bed mummy.
When I was 6, my family moved from New York City to the suburbs in Florida. In NYC the sky is usually gray or smoggy so it was the first time I had seen blue skies and clouds. I used to try to lay in the grass and look for shapes in the clouds but I never could stay long enough to find anything because I was absolutely terrified that the clouds would fall on me. I was still uneasy even after I learned that clouds are weightless water vapor.

When I was younger, whenever I saw sunlight streaming through the clouds, I thought that it meant God was speaking to someone.
My brother, when he was little, was CONVINCED that 1) if the sun was out, it was warm, and 2) it wasn't winter unless there was snow on the ground.
This led to some very frustrating attempts on my mother's part to forse a parka on him on certain sunny december days!
I used to think that the weather changed on what God was feeling. If it was sunny, God was happy. If rainy, he was sad. If there was lightning, he was angry. I wondered how the weather men predicted how God felt!
I used to believe that when it rained god was crying, and when it thundered he was rolling over in bed, and when there was an earthquake the dead people were rolling over in their graves!
