I used to believe that thunder was caused by giants bowling in the sky.

When I was little, my brother used to tell me that during a thunderstorm lightning would come out of the powerpoints and 'get' me.

To this day, it's something I'm phobic about, even though common sense tells me otherwise!

I used to believe thunder was the sound of God rearranging his furniture.

My mother use to tell me to be quiet during a thunderstorm. I never could figure out why she said that and now when it's a thunderstorm I make everyone in the house be quiet.

when i was younger and i asked why there was thunder and lightining, my mother told me everytime it did it, it was god and the devil having an argument...so I was wondered, hmmm what are they fighting about this time when there were storms.

I used to belive thunder was the angels bowling. Whenever there was a big clap of thunder an angel had made a strike. I always celebrated for the angel. I would envision the angel doing the disco to flashes of lightning.

Go Angels!

My dad listens to rock, so he used to tell me that when it thundered, it was God bowling against the sinners. You know, like the song. Angels and sinners play every day, every night. To this day I don't understand the true meaning of that song.

I used to believe that thunder was the noise that clouds made when they bumped into each other. I didn't realise this wasn't true until I was 24 and on holiday with my boyfriend and his family. There was a big thunder storm and everyone thought it very funny when I explained what I thought... thanks Mum.

I used to think that lightening would folow you up the stairs and zap you, and that if you had a cat on your lap during a thunderstorm , the lightening would find you.

When I was under fifteen I used to believe that people were hit by lightning because they did some bad things in their past live, so the sky came down to punish them..

When I was younger,
my mum always used to tell me when there was a storm,
God was angry and he was hitting drums which was the thunder...

While watching a thunderstorm with my 4 yr old son, we spotted some lighting in the clouds..after some time of watching this spot light up he said "That car up there in the clouds is turning its lights on." LOL! I'm sure you can imagine how absolutly adorable that sounded....

Watching the cars in the sky

Thunder were the angels bowling and lighting is when they made a stike.

I used to belive (thanks to having an older brother) that if you heard the ceiling creaking when upstairs that it was the footsteps of ghosts in the loft. He also told me that if you see fork lightning during a thunder storm it releases ghosts and spirits which saw you looking and they will find you...what a gullable little sister I was!

Marie Taylor

when i was little my mom told me not to touch anything metal when it was lightening out, because i could get electrocuted. i took this very seriously and wouldnt touch silverware or doorknobs for fear of being electrocuted. i finally realized that she meant metal things outside, not inside.

I used to believe that the sound of thunder was clouds bumping into each other.

I used to belief that thunder was the clouds bashing against each other. It was when i was 18 i realised this weren't the case.

I used to think that lightening was like a flashbulb, so you better not be doing anything bad or else the angels or God would see. So smile, just in case it's a picture. Also, if a flash from the reflection fo the sun on a car's windshield or other object would do the same. I did a lot of "freeze and smile" because I wanted to be remembered to be a good little girl who smiled a lot.

I used to beleive that thunder come from a rock.
