Not sure at what this was, but I use to be afraid of thunderstorms. To ease my mind Dad told me God was bowling. The rumbling thunder was the bowling ball going down the lane and the lightning was him getting a strike. If memory servers...God is an outstanding bowler with many 300 games.

My friend used to say that when it rained, it was God crying.

As a kid in Germany, we all thought that if the sun shone while it was raining, then the Devil was having a wedding (eine Hochzeit).

I used to think that the sound that the wind makes when it goes through the cracks in a window meant that Big Foot was prowling outside.

i used to believe(and sometimes i'd like to still be able to) that the rainbow is made of coloured jelly-so i would always run towards it,trying to get to taste it...my mum told me it was 'for gods only'

I used to believe that I could control the wind because I was born in March. I would stand outside on my back porch all afternoon and control the wind.

when I was about 4 years old my family moved from Texas to Virginia. We moved Christmas eve, and my mom told me that once we got to Virginia I'd see beautiful snow on all the trees. I had this vision of enormous trees covered in pink fluff, maybe even adorned with ornaments (I'd never seen snow in Texas). Once mom announced that we were in Virginia and I saw these towering evergreens covered in plain old white, I cried bitter tears of resentment, repeating, "this can't be Virginia, there are no pink Christmas trees!"

I used to believe that rain had an odor. I was not until years later that I realized what I was smelling was the scent of water hitting the pavement, the smell of tar.

Ben

I used to believe that it rained on all the world until one day it rained on the street across from us and not on us.

When I was little, I thought that when it rained, people in heaven were sitting on the edge of the clouds pouring buckets of water down to the earth below. I'm 28 now and still get that image from time to time.

Being from the Hudson Valley/Catskills region of New York, we were always told that a bad thuderstorm was Rip Van Winkle bowling!

Lou

this happened when i was quite small. it was during the rainy season when i asked my cousin (who wasn't really too old either) what exactly caused lightning. my cousin who had his own scientific beliefs told me that lightning was caused by god who was was sitting there above and clicking our photographs. needless to say whenever lightning struck, me and my other cousins would jump up and down hoping our's would be the best picture.

Ritu

I used to believe if it was raining in the town I lived in then it was raining everywhere in the world

Watching the "Wizard of OZ" as a child made me fearful of the wind. Everytime it blew I got scared out of my mind. I still get a little frightened whenever the wind blows to this day, but nothing like as a child.

Mike

I used to believe that wind came from the earth turning faster than usaul. So I thought I was really smart because I could figure out which way the world was turning.

When I was growing up in Hawaii I had never seen snow -- except in picture books about snowy days and folded paper cutouts of snowflakes in school. As a result I was convinced that snowflakes were each as big as your hand, and that kids on the mainand spent all their time comparing them to see if any two were ever exactly alike.

I thought that if you walk outside and you see your breathe then that means your brethe smells and I would go inside and brush them.

Stacey

When I was a child I used to believe...

...that when it snowed a lot, like over 8 inches, and the snow collected on the lawns, I would look at it and just know that the lawn wasn't there anymore...it was all just snow now...and if I dared walk on it, I would fall right through...fall and fall and fall, no bottom! Once my sister pushed me onto the "bottomless" lawn and I screamed bloody murder till my Dad came and picked me up, has was shovelling, so he took a moment and shovelled me right up, and I was safe again. Whew, it was a close call I tell ya!

Sasso

I habe been believed you can get on the cloud.
