When I was little and it would thunder. My grandma would say it was angel in heaven bowling. If it was lighting it was a spare and thunder was a strike.

I watched Heidi as a kid and she believed that when there was lightning you could see into heaven...so I was never scared and always looked...still do!

I once thought that clouds were solid because of cartoons. I thought thunder was formed by those solid clouds colliding with each other. Lightning was formed by people on the top of clouds starting fires and when another cloud crashes into the cloud that they are on, it produces an explosion that sends lightning to earth.

I used to believe that thunder was the angels bowling, so I assumed a few other things, too. Lightning was either them having disco bowling, or somebody was dropping lightbulbs on the ground. And of course, all that bowling made them thirsty, so they had to have water! Rain was them dropping their drinks, and hail and snow was the ice in the water! Tornados were fans turned on, too.

I used to believe that thunder was my dead Grandma Caroline bowling in heaven and lighting would occur when she got a strike.

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

When I was little and was riding in the car with my Aunt and Uncle it was raining and there was thunder. I asked my Aunt if the thunder was God moving furniture around. I guess I truely thought
God was moving his furniture in his livingroom.
My Aunt and Uncle just laughed and laughed.

I used to believe that when lightening struck at night, it was turning the world into day for a few seconds.
