One day when I was about 6 years old, I was watching the weather and I noticed on the bottom of the screen it said, "Skycast: Green".

Being so young and hearing that when the sky turned green, tornadoes were likely to happen, I started crying my eyes out.

My mom told me, "They don't mean the sky is actually green; they just mean there's not that much pollen in the air. Now calm down!"

That confused the crap outta me for a year or two. :P

Still terrified of storms.

At night I would hear the chirping crickets and thinking it was comeing from the stars in the sky!

When I was a kid I remember hearing about and watching rockets being sent into space. I asked my mum about it and she explained that they were learning stuff about space so they sent someone up there to look around, but it cost a lot of money and could be dangerous.

For years I couldn't understand why they didn't just ask superman to go have a look for them.

In Illinois, we had a bad storm and were under a tornado watch. The family hid in the basement, and the whole time I thought we were hiding from "tomatoes". I was too you to understand "tornado", and thought they said "Run, get downstairs, there's a tomato coming!"

I grew up in the mountains of Pennsylvania and I used to believe that the trees would start waving and make it windy. . . the more they waved, the windier it got.
