weather

I was told that "thunder" was the result of the giants, who lived in the clouds, moving house. What a fool!

If cows were sat down, it meant it was going to rain.

Eating your crusts on bread would make your hair curly. We had to eat them whether we wanted curly hair or no!

During one snowy day when we were about 12 years old, my friend revealed to me that he still believed what his mother told him, when he was little, about where snow came from: That snow was actually clouds that fell to earth. I chastised him no end.

I used to believe my brother was right when he told me that if I looked at lightning I would go blind.

i used to think when lightining hit the earth that god got angry and killed someone and when thunder clashed that he farted.

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 it rained I thought it was raining all over the world.

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...:)

If I saw grass waving with the wind, I thought there was a train moving underground. (I lived in the suburbs of NYC, so I knew about subways, even though they weren't in our neighborhood.)

When i was younger i used to belive that when i got angry the wind would grow and become faster. The thing was though i was a very angry person when i was younger and didnt relise that i just in a windy country.

I used to believe that if you stood on top of a snowbank for long enough, you'd sink down right into the ground!

Brandy Lynn

I believed that when I was little that if you ate a piece of a cloud that floated down into your bowl of soup that it would taste like a marshmellow and that you'd slowly float back up in the sky

Vicki

i use to believe that the cloud in the sky is ice cream and that one day i will grow so tall that i can actually scoop it with my hand.

When I was about 7 my brother who was in preschool told me that in school he ran over a rainbow. I believed him and I couldn't wait for it to rain so I could "make a rainbow." Really he had just gone down a slide and pretended it was a rainbow.

I used to believe, sun moves when nobody is looking. And the sun psyches the observer into thinking something and not notice his movements (I guess my grand mother told me this as she couldn't answer my many questions).
On many evenings, I used to sit in the balcony determined to catch a setting sun but in the process invariably used to be distracted by some thought or the other and the next time I look the sun is already a foot below from where he was when I started. As I woudn't notice I spent so much time thinking something else, i used to think he moved all that distance at my momentary distraction.
After many trials, I gave up thinking it's a human limitation and sun always manages to move when nobody is looking. Similar to the deceiving rains. I knew when it rains it doesn't rain everywhere in the world. So, i used to think, there has to be a place where the rain ends and because nobody i knew had seen such a thing, this always happens when nobody is around.
