Every time it thundered and rained I used to believe that God was passing wind and "peeing"!

My mother told me that thunder was the sound of the giants bowling. If you listen, you can see why I fell for that one.

When I was little, I used to see things during thunderstorms. There was a wavy form of a woman's face that would come towards me and get wavier as it got nearer to me. For some reason, I thought that, the wavier she got, the more angry she was and that, when the lightning struck, it gave her the power to kill me and so I would always run, for years, into my brothers' room and hide under their bed.

Thunder and lightning was just natural fireworks. I still have a hard time worrying when walking in an electrical storm.

that when it thunder'd it was angels rolling barrels around heaven.

i used to think that lightning during rainstorms was because god was taking pictures of us. During the real heavy thunderstorms, I would actually look up so that he could get a good shot.

My mum used to tell me that thunder was god re-arranging the furniture.

my dad used to tell me that when it thundered it meant that god was really angry and was throwing a temper tantrum.

My three brothers used to tell me that thunder was caused by football players up in heaven kicking the ball at the goalposts really hard.

My nan used to tell me that when it thundered and lighteninged, God was smacking Jesus's bum because he kept turning the light on and off.

I used to beleive that thunder was made by the clouds crashing together,and that lightening was the light being pushed out from between the clouds when they crashed together!
